To determine which point on the number line represents the difference [tex]\(2.6 - 1.2\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. First, identify the two numbers involved in the subtraction operation: [tex]\(2.6\)[/tex] and [tex]\(1.2\)[/tex].
2. Next, subtract [tex]\(1.2\)[/tex] from [tex]\(2.6\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
2.6 - 1.2 = 1.4
\][/tex]
3. The result of [tex]\(2.6 - 1.2\)[/tex] is [tex]\(1.4\)[/tex].
4. Now, locate the point on the number line that corresponds to the difference calculated, which is [tex]\(1.4\)[/tex].
Thus, the correct point on the number line that represents the difference [tex]\(2.6 - 1.2\)[/tex] is [tex]\(1.4\)[/tex].
Check each given point (A, B, C, D) and choose the one that corresponds to [tex]\(1.4\)[/tex].
