Question

an object is placed at 0 on a number line. it moves 3 units to the right, then 4 units to the left, and then 6 units to the right. what is the displacement of the object?\
\bigcirc 1\
\bigcirc 5\
\bigcirc 7\
\bigcirc 13

Explanation:

Step1: Start at initial position

Initial position: $0$

Step2: Move right 3 units

New position: $0 + 3 = 3$

Step3: Move left 4 units

New position: $3 - 4 = -1$

Step4: Move right 6 units

Final position: $-1 + 6 = 5$

Step5: Calculate displacement

Displacement = Final position - Initial position = $5 - 0 = 5$

Answer:
