Answer:
<u>Point C at (-18/7)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Point A is at -6 and point B is at 2.
So, the distance between A and B = 2 - (-6) = 8
point C on the directed line segment from A to B on a number line such that the segment is partitioned in a ratio of 3:4.
Let the distance AC = x
∴ BC = 8 - x
AC : CB = 3 : 4
∴
Using cross multiplication
3 (8-x) = 4x
24 - 3x = 4x
24 = 7x
x = 24/7
So, Point C = -6 + 24/7 = -18/7
Point C at (-18/7)
