A and B have coordinates –2 and 10 on a number line. If it is marked off into 6 congruent segments, which one of the following coordinates is NOT one of the marked points? a. 0 c. 3 b. 2 d. 8

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the coordinate that is not marked is given by:

c. 3

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

There are 6 congruent segments between -2 and 10, hence the length of each segment is given by:

l = (10 - (-2))/6 = 2.

Then the points are: -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. 3 is not marked, hence option c is correct.
