On a number line point x is located at 2 / 3 on a second number line point y is the same distance from zero as point x what has a numerator of 8 what is the in denominator of y

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Point X on number line 1 from 0= 2/3

Point Y on number line 2 from 0 = same distance as point X on number line

Point Y has a denominator of 8 ; the numerator is thus;°

Let denominator = d ; Fraction becomes 8/d

Thus `

Point X on 1 = point Y

2/3 = 8/ d

2d = 3 * 8

2d = 24

d = 12

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
