on a number line suppose point E has a coordinate of 4, and EG=10. what are the possible coordinates of point G

Answer 1

If you drew a number line and put point E on 4, then G can either be 10 units behind or away from pt E.

--------*------------4--------------*------------

G₁ E G₂

In both cases, the distance between points E and G are 10 units. Thus, one possible point for G is at -6 (4 - (-6) = 10)

Whereas, another possible point for G is at 14 (since 14 - 4 = 10)

Hope this helps

Answer 2

G could be at either 14 or at -6.
