Question

on a number line the coordinates of x, y, z, and w are -6, -3, 1 and 4 respectively find the lengths of the two segments below then tell whether they are congruent

Answers

  1. The lengths of the two segments below then tell whether they are congruent
    YZ = 4
    XW = 12
    not congruent
    This is further explained below.

    What is a number line?

    Generally, A number line is a depiction of a graded straight line that serves as an abstraction for real numbers, which are symbolized by the
    Number lines are used in introductory mathematics. It is generally accepted that a real number may be assigned to each point on a number line and that each point can be assigned to a real number.
    YZ = Z – Y = 1 -(-3) = 4
    XW = W -X = 5 -(-7) = 12
    Because the segments are not the same length, they cannot be considered congruent.
    In conclusion, It is self-evident that segment YZ will not have the same length as segment XW since it is just a portion of the latter.
