Point A is on a number line halfway between −17 and 5. Point B is halfway between point A and 0. What integer does the point B represent?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is -3.

The integer is -3 which represents point B.

Given that,

Point A is on a number line halfway between −17 and 5.

Point B is halfway between points A and 0.

We have to determine,

What integer does point B represents?

According to the question,

The halfway point between two numbers is the number that is exactly in the middle of the two numbers.

Point A is halfway between -17 and 5.

This is span has a total distance of 17 + 5 = 22.

Half way is 11 units from -17 or 5. So -17 + 11 = -6.

Point B is halfway between A at -6 and 0,

This is a distance of 6.

So, halfway is 3 units away at -3.

Hence, The required integer is -3 which represents point B.
