The zero mark on the number line represents Maya’s home. The negative numbers represent the number of feet Maya walks from her home toward the left. The positive numbers represent the number of feet Maya walks from her home toward the right.

A number line has points blank, A, negative 100, B, 0, C, 100, blank, D.

Which point represents Maya walking 50 feet from her home toward the left?
Point A
Point B
Point C
Point D

1 answer

To determine which point represents Maya walking 50 feet from her home toward the left, we can note that moving to the left on a number line corresponds to negative numbers.

Since the zero mark (0) represents Maya's home, walking 50 feet to the left means she would reach -50. Therefore, we need to find the point that corresponds to -50 on the number line.

Given the points:

  • Negative 100
  • 0 (Maya's home)
  • 100
  • and the positions of points A, B, C, and D are not specified.

However, since Maya walks 50 feet to the left, we focus on locating -50 on the number line. Based on typical spacing of numbers on a number line, point A is likely between -100 and 0, and given the absence of additional points between -100 and 0, point A is likely closer to -50.

Thus, Point A represents Maya walking 50 feet from her home toward the left at -50.

So the answer is: Point A.
