On a numberline, suppose point E has a coordinate of 1, and EG = 3. what are the possible coordinates of point G?

Question

i need help on my homework!!

Answer 1

If the length of EG is 3, then the possible coordinates of G are either 3 units to the right of 1, or 3 units to the left of 1. Thus, G is either at 4 or -2.

Answer 2

Well, you can go 3 either direction.

1 + 3 = 4

1 - 3 = -2
