The coordinate of point
\( X \) inside segment
\( BE \) that is
\( (3)/(4) \) the distance from
\( B \) to
\( E \) is at
\( 0.25 \) on the number line.

To find the coordinate of point X inside segment BE that is \( \frac{3}{4} \) the distance from B to E:

1. Determine the coordinates of points B and E on the number line.

2. Calculate the total distance between B and E.

3. Multiply the total distance by
\( (3)/(4) \) to find
\( (3)/(4) \) of the distance from B.

4. Add this distance to the coordinate of B to find the coordinate of X.

From the image, it's difficult to read the exact coordinates of B and E, but it appears that B is at -5 and E is at 2. Let's calculate it:

- Total distance between B and E:
\( E - B = 2 - (-5) = 2 + 5 = 7 \)

-
\( (3)/(4) \) of the distance:
\( (3)/(4) * 7 = (21)/(4) \)

- Coordinate of X:
\( B + (3)/(4) \text{ distance} = -5 + (21)/(4) \)

Let's calculate the exact coordinate of X.

The coordinate of point
\( X \) inside segment
\( BE \) that is
\( (3)/(4) \) the distance from
\( B \) to
\( E \) is at
\( 0.25 \) on the number line.
