Draw a number line from –10 to 10. Put tick marks at each integer. Graph a point with the given coordinate. point F, coordinate –7 Which is true about point F on the number line? A. Point F is 7 units to the right of 0. B. Point F is 1 unit to the right of –6. C. Point F is 1 unit to the left of –6. D. Point F is 7 units to the left of 7. will medal
help pelas @hartnn
co u know it
do
Yeah, I can help.
So, a number line is like this.
(-10)-----(-9)------(-8)-----(-7)-----(-6)-----(-5)-------(-4)-------(-3)-----(-2)
Except it goes all the way from -10 to 10.
So, if the point is at -7, which side of 0 is it on? Left or right?
right
Remember, it's negative 7 (-7), and negative numbers are always on the left of 0.
ok
Found a picture of the number line.
http://image.tutorvista.com/cms/images/38/positive-and-negative-number-line.jpg
so the answer is b
So, let's test the answers against the number line.
If you have the picture up, put your mouse over -6
Then move it one number to the right like in answer b
See if it's correct?
yes
How is it correct?
sorry it i not
Ok, so test the other answers.
Answer d says move 7 to the left of seven.
Positive seven, that is.
Is that correct?
so is is it d or c
Well, 7 moves to the left of positive 7 is what?
Try it out and you'll get your answer.
You're testing it against the picture, right?
sorry bran is crazy
It's ok, just open the picture and put your mouse over positive 7
http://image.tutorvista.com/cms/images/38/positive-and-negative-number-line.jpg
Then move 7 numbers to the left.
If it doesn't come out to -7, it's not the right answer.
so a
I know it's a little crazy, too many sevens. XD
You're trying for negative 7
Remember, negative is always to the left of 0 on the number line.
so the ansewr is c so i am puting c
Yes, it's c. If you move 1 number to the left of -6, you wind up at -7.
thanks have more
Draw a number line from –2 to 2. Put tick marks every one-tenth unit. Graph a point with the given coordinate. point Q, coordinate 1.1 Which is true about point Q on the number line? A. Point Q is 0.1 unit to the right of 0. B. Point Q is 1.1 unit to the left of 0. C. Point Q is 0.1 unit to the left of 1. D. Point Q is 0.1 unit to the right of 1.
Ok, so same type of question.
a
If you're at zero and move 0.1 to the right, you'll be at 0.1, so that isn't the one.
You need to end up at 1.1. That's where point Q is.
Here's the number line.
brb
I gotta go soon
It can't be A, because 0.1 to the right of 0 is 0.1.
It can't be B, because 1.1 to the left of 0 is -1.1.
It can't be C, because 0.1 to the left of 1 is 0.9.
So it has to be D, because 0.1 to the right of 1 is 1.1.
Just look at it like stairs: Left is down, and right is up.
Hope this helps; gotta go now. Bai!
