Please help!!

What is the location of the point on the number line that is 4/9 of the way from
A= -8 to B = 10?
Ο Α. 0
OB. 2
O c. -2
O D. -1

Answer 1

A. 0

Explanation:

The answer is 0 (zero)

Answer 2

Α. 0

Explanation:

Given A = -8 and B = 10

The distance between A and B

= B - A

= 10 - (-8)

= 10 + 8

= 18 units

4/9 of the way between A and B

= 4/9 of the distance between A and B

= 4/9 x 18 units

= 8 units.

Hence the location of the point that is 4/9 of the way from A to B

= value at point A + 8 units

= -8 + 8

= 0 (answer)
