Answer:

0

Explanation:

Based on the information provided, we know that the ratio of AX to XF is 1:2. This means that if AX is represented by 'x', then XF will be represented by '2x'.

We also know that point A is located at -4 and point F is located at 8. Therefore, we can find the value of 'x' by dividing the distance between A and F by 3 (1+2=3, since the ratio of AX to XF is 1:2).

The distance between A and F is 8 - (-4) = 12. Dividing this by 3 gives us 4. Therefore, AX is 4 and XF is 8.

Since point X lies between A and F, we can find its location by adding AX to the coordinate of A. Therefore, X is located at (A+AX) which is (-4+4) = 0.
