Question

on the number line coordinate of point p is line - 3 then find the coordinates of the point which is at distance of 5 units from point P​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :   coordinate of pt. P  on a number line is '-3'.

To find :   the co-ordinates of points on the number line which are at a distance of 5 units from P​

Solution:

coordinate of pt. P on a number line is '-3'.

Let say point B is  a distance of 5 units from P​

Coordinate of B = x

=> |  x - (-3)|  =  5

=> | x + 3 |  =  5

=> x + 3 = 5  or  x + 3 = - 5

=> x = 2  or x = - 8

Hence   co-ordinates of points on the number line which are at a distance of 5 units from P​ are -8 and  2

Answer 2

Given : coordinate of pt. P on a number line is '-3'.

To find : the co-ordinates of points on the number line which are at a distance of 5 units from P

Solution:

coordinate of pt. P on a number line is '-3'.

Let say point B is a distance of 5 units from P

Coordinate of B = x

=> | x - (-3)| = 5

=> | x + 3 | = 5

=> x + 3 = 5 or x + 3 = - 5

=> x = 2 or x = - 8

Hence co-ordinates of points on the number line which are at a distance of 5 units from P are -8 and 2
