The possible coordinates for G are ___
(Type integers or decimals. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

G = 1, 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two cases to this problem: G is either to the left or right of E. If G is to the left of E, then G = 5 - 4 = 1 and if G is to the right of E, then G = 5 + 4 = 9. Therefore, our answer is G = 1, 9.
