what is the x distance from A to C to start with?

anonymous · Answer

well i do have an answer. i kinda wanted you too check it. is it a?

amistre64 · Answer

its not a,  if the x distance was -1 to start with then -1/4 would be correct .... but that is not what we have to start with

anonymous · Answer

oh

amistre64 · Answer

x is from 0 to -3, for total distance of:  3 in the negative direction

we want that divided by 4

anonymous · Answer

then it has to be c?

amistre64 · Answer

-3/4  yes

anonymous · Answer

so i have to do that, to get- 0.75?

amistre64 · Answer

of course.

in order to find 1/4 the distance, we take the distance and divide it by 4.  and the distance is from 0 to -3.
