Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinate of A = -7
Coordinate if B = 5
Distance of AB = |-7 - 5| = |-12| = 12
We are asked to find the coordinate of the point that would be ⅙ from the A to B, which is ⅙ of AB.
Let's find what ⅙ of AB is.
AB = 12
Therefore, ⅙ of AB = ⅙*12 = 2.
From point A (-7), we move 2 points towards B which will give us ⅙ from A to B.
The coordinate = -7 + 2 = -5
-5 is the coordinate of the point with a fraction distance of ⅙ from A to B.
