Here, we are required to determine the point where point H lie on the number line.
The point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.
The distance between point F and G on the number line is:
4 - (-2) = 6 numbers on the number line.
And since the ratio of FH to HG is 3:9
- Then, let point H be at no. X on the number line.
Therefore; FH/HG = (4 - x)/(x - (-2))
i.e 3/9 = (4 - x)/ (x +2).
By cross multiplication, 3x + 6 = 36 - 9x.
Therefore, 12x = 30
and, x = 2.5
Therefore, the point H is at point 2.5 on the number line.
