an object starts at position 12 on a horizontal line with a reference point of 0. what is the position of the object if it moves 14 units to the left?\n-26\n-2\n2\n26

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the direction of movement

Moving to the left on a number line means subtraction.

Step2: Calculate the new position

The initial position is (12), and it moves (14) units to the left. So the new position is (12 - 14). [12-14=-2]

Answer:

(-2) (the second option)
