A passenger on a boat notices that there is a dolphin 3.4 yards below the boat. There is also a fish 1.2 yards below the boat. They also see a bird that is 1.2 yards above the boat.

Part A: Explain how you would create a number line for these points. (1 point)

Part B: What does zero represent on your number line?

Part C: Determine which two points are opposites, using absolute value. Be sure to show your work. )

Respuesta :

The number line can be used to describe the relative positions of the dolphin, boat and bird as follows;

Part A:

_______________

-3.4, -1.2, 0, 1.2

Part B: Location of the boat

Part C: The opposite points are -1.2 and 1.2

What is a number line?

Distance of the dolphin below the boat = 3.4 yards

Distance of the fish below the boat = 1.2 yards

Distance of the bird above the boat = 1.2 yards

Part A: The number line can be created by taking points below the boat as negative, and points that are above the boat as positive, to give;

_______________

-3.4, -1.2, 0, 1.2

Part B: The point zero (0) in the above number line represent the location of the boat at the water surface.

Part C: The points that are opposite have equal magnitudes but different signs. These are points equidistant from and on opposite sides to the zero point on the number line.

From the above number line, the point -1.2 (1.2 yards below the boat of the fish), and the point 1.2 (The location of the bird 1.2 yards above the boat) are the two opposite points
