Complete question :

Point P is shown on the number line below. The distance between point Q and point P is 6 1/2 units. Which number could represent point Q?

A) -9 1/2

B) 1 1/2

C) 2 1/2

D) 10 1/2

1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the possible position of point Q:

Add or subtract the distance between the points to the position of point P on the number line ;

Point P is located at - 5

Therefore, point Q will be located at :

Either :

Point P + 6 1/2 = - 5 + 6.5 = 1 1/2

Point P - 6 1/2 = - 5 - 6.5 = - 11 1/2

From the option ;

Q = 1 1/2
