1. points a and b are to be mapped onto a number line according to two equations. the solution to the equation is the coordinate of point a. the solution to the equation is the coordinate of point b.
(a) solve the first equation to find the coordinate of point a. show your work.
(b) solve the second equation to find the coordinate of point b. show your work.
(c) determine the distance between points a and b. explain.

Point A

2/3 A= -24

A = -24 / 2/3

A = -24 * 3/2

A =-36

Point B

20 = -B / 0.20

20 * 0.20 = -B

4 = -B

4 / -1 = -B/ -1

The distance from point A to the origin is = 36

distance from point B to the origin is = 4

distance from point A to B = 36 + 4 = 40

The distance between the two points is 40

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
