To determine which letter on the number line represents the result of adding two points together, we first need to identify the values of points A, B, C, and D based on their described positions:
1. **Point A**: One segment to the right of -10 is -10 + 5 = -5.
2. **Point B**: Four segments to the right of -5 is -5 + (4 * 5) = -5 + 20 = 15, but since the line goes only from -10 to 10, this point does not fall on the number line segment.
3. **Point C**: One segment to the right of 0 is 0 + 5 = 5.
4. **Point D**: Four segments to the right of 5 is 5 + (4 * 5) = 5 + 20 = 25, but again, this point exceeds the visible number line.
Thus, it looks like A (-5) and C (5) are the only relevant points since Point B and D exceed the -10 to 10 range.
If we need to find the result of adding point A and point C:
- Point A: -5
- Point C: 5
Calculating the addition:
-5 + 5 = 0.
The result 0 is exactly on the number line, located at point C.
Thus, the answer is **C**, as it represents the value 0 on the number line.
1. **Point A**: One segment to the right of -10 is -10 + 5 = -5.
2. **Point B**: Four segments to the right of -5 is -5 + (4 * 5) = -5 + 20 = 15, but since the line goes only from -10 to 10, this point does not fall on the number line segment.
3. **Point C**: One segment to the right of 0 is 0 + 5 = 5.
4. **Point D**: Four segments to the right of 5 is 5 + (4 * 5) = 5 + 20 = 25, but again, this point exceeds the visible number line.
