Answer 1

Given :

Point A and point B are placed on a number line.

Point A is located at -5 and point B is 10 less than point A.

To Find :

Position of point B in number line.

Solution :

It is given that position of point A is -5 on number line.

So, value of A is -5.

Now, it is given that point B is 10 less than point A.

B = [ -5 + ( -10 ) ] =  -15

Therefore, position of point B is [ -5 + ( -10 ) ] = -15 .
