K, L, M are collinear, and the coordinate of L is greater than M.
If |KM| = |ML| = 6 and the coordinate of M is 3, what are the coordinates of K and L?
pls tell and help me what to do step by step...

just tell me something: how comes that m is only 3? i mean it should have been (3,y) nah,dont u fink so?...hint:remember that k,l,m lie on the same line,that is,if k is half(4,8) L should be one quarter(4,8) and M one third(4,8) hope ive bin in som way or another helpful to u.

K M L
The points lie in this order.
M is at coordinate 3 and the length of ML is 6 so add 6 to 3 to get L is at coordinate 9
The length of KM is also 6, so we subtract 6 from 3 to get the coordinates of K = -3

Look at the problem.
L cannot have a value greater than M if M = 3.
The absolute value of ML must equal six. What number greater than 3 when multiplied with 3 is equal to six?
Did you write the ques. correctly?
the answer could be 2 and -2 if the wording was L is greater than K.

incorrect ques..points do not have single numeral coordinates.
