Question

the coordinate of R, the center of PQ is 6 . If the coordinate of P is greater than the coordinate of Q & if RQ=10, what are the coordinates of P & Q ?

Answer 1

is it coordinate or just the ordinate ? because for coordinate both abscissa and ordinate must be given! and here we have only one number !!

Answer 2

coordinate

Answer 3

this question can only be solved by assuming that all 3 points lie on same horizontal(or vertical)axis.....say x-axis
in that case the R-->(0,6)
RQ=10---->Q=(0,10+6)=(0,16)
R centre of PQ----->P=(0,6-10)=(0,-4)....
do u have options or something??

Answer 4

sorry,y-axis is assumed

Answer 5

what is the coordinates of p and q?

Answer 6

as i said,if y-axis is assumed,the co-ordinates of P and Q ARE (0,16)and(0,-4)
if u only ask for ordinates,its 16 and -4.....

Answer 7

@hartnn notice that 'P is greater than Q' .. so P is 16 and Q is -4

the abscissa can be other than zero though!! for example they can be P(1,16) and Q(3,-4) if R(2,6) !

so i think it is just
the coordinate of P is 16 and that of Q is -4

Answer 8

thank you all ^^

Answer 9

but as u said,coordinates are always pairs!
co-ordinate of P is 16 does not make any sense...
and if u take any x-co-ordinates like 1,2,3.....RQ=10 will not get satisfied...
