What is the x-coordinate of point B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative 5

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. What is the x-coordinate of point O?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1.5 i think

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Since the segment OB lies in a horizontal line, just subtract -1.5 from -5 and take the absolute value to find the length of OB

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Or you can just look in the graph to find the distance between -1.5 and -5 on the x-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but my choices absolute value x+5/2 , x-3/2, x-5/2, x+3/2
