A point located at (0, -6) is the same distance from 0 as the point located at (0, 6). True False

mathslover (mathslover):

Can you try to plot that first? here..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i am coming

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't i tried but i messed up alot

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You don't need to plot it, just imagine both points on the y-axis.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

(0,-6) is six units below 0 and (0,6) is six units above 0.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Are the two points "the same distance from 0"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Good, that is correct. In fact these two numbers: 6 and -6 are opposites of each other.
