Question

Value:

abe
Find the coordinate of point X inside segment BE that is (half) the
distance from B to E.

Answer 1

Case 3/4, x is located at 0

Case half, x is located at -2

Explanation:

From the picture:

• E is located at 2

• B is located at -6

Then, the distance from B to E is: 2 - (-6) = 8

3/4 of this distance is: 3/4*8 = 6

Taking B as a reference, x is located at -6 + 6 = 0

Half of this distance is: 1/2*8 = 4

Taking B as a reference, x is located at -6 + 4 = -2
