The red line segment on the number line below represents the segment from A to B, where A = -5 and B = 5. Find the value of the point A on segment AB that is of the distance from A to B.

4

step-by-step explanation:

im pretty sure it's 4 beacsue 8/2 equals 4

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
