Hi,
I have a question regarding Number Lines chapter of the number properties. I.e Regarding the problem set section of the number lines (question 10).
Question:
The Question states that, S is the midpoint of QR,r=-2q and we are asked to compare between two quantitys. Quantity A i.e S and Quantity B i.e 0.
Approach:
Now,The way i have approched the problem is, i considered value of q=1,and according to the equation stated above,r should be twice the value of q and should be negative i.e r=-2 ,now when i tried solving it this way,i get the value for midpoint as s=-0.5 ((-2+1)/2=-0.5).hence 0>-0.5..which seems to be the wrong answer..the right answer is Quantity A
sir,could you kindly please look into this problem and tell me and kindly elucidate the answer
Regards,
Manish A.
