Co-ordinate of point P on a number line is - 7. Find the co-ordinates of points on the number line which are at a distance of 8 units from point P.

योग

उत्तर

Let point Q be at a distance of 8 units from P and on left side of P

Let point R be at a distance of 8 units from P and on right side of P.

(i) Let the co-ordinate of point Q be x.

Co-ordinate of point P is -7.

Since, point Q is to the left of point P.

∴ -7 > x

∴ d(P, Q) = -7 - x

∴ 8 = -7 - x

∴ x = -7 - 8

∴ x = -15

(ii) Let the co-ordinate of point R be y.

Co-ordinate of point P is -7.

Since, point R is to the right of point P.

∴ y > -7

∴ d(P, R) = 7 - (-7)

∴ 8 = y + 7

∴ 8 - 7 = 7

∴ y = 1

∴ The co-ordinates of the points at a distance of 8 units from P are -15 and 1.
