Point A and Point B are placed on a number line Point A is located at -20 and Point B is 5 less than Point A. Which statement about Point A is true?​ A) It is located -25 and is to the right of Point A on the number line.

B) It is located at -15 and is to the right of Point A on the number line.

C) It is located at -25 and is to the left of Point A on the number line.

D) It is located at -15 and is to the left of Point A on the number line.

A() it is located _25 and is the right of point A on the number line

The Answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

so if u draw out a number line, point A will be on the left side of the number line or in this case "0". So it is saying "point b is 5 less than point A" so since Point A is "-20" and it says "5 less than point A" so it would be adding up 5 more to -20 so it would be -25. But if it was 5 more than point A it would have been -15. If u take an example of money, like if u owe someone $20, it would be -$20 in your balance, and if he or she says u need to owe me 5 more $'s cuz there was damage now in your balance it would be -25.

**PS: mark me the brainliest, and make sure you practice more of these question**

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
