Answer:
See below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we see from the diagram the x -intercept ( where the line intercepts the horizontal x-axis) is (3, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, -10).
The answer to the question
Total distance from w to z is -10 to 6 = 16
Add the ratios: 2 + 3 + 3 = 8
Divide distance by total ratio: 16/8 = 2
Multiply each ratio by 2 : 2x 2 = 4, 3 x 2 = 6, 3 x 2 = 6
WX is 4 units apart, add 4 to -10 to get x = -6
Answer: A. -6
<span>Well if one assumes that the dog is starting at one side opposite the gate and is heading directly for it, then it has 3/8 of the yard to go. However since one cannot know where the dog has started his movement toward the gate then the answer would not be solvable without more information.</span>
