The coordinate for point m on a number line is 11. if mn is 12, what are the possible coordinates for n on the number line?

N could be either 23 or -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If M is located at 11 on a number line and you are given the distance from M to N is 12 then:

N is either 11+12=23

or

N is 11-12=-1

Both of these would give you a distance of 12 from M=11.

The distance between two numbers, a and b, can be found by calculating:

|a-b|.

So let's check our solutions.

N=23

|M-N|=|11-23|=|-12|=12.

|M-N|=|11-(-1)|=|12|=12.

So either coordinate of N would make MN=12.
