(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.

-36 ; - 4 ; 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

Equation 1:

2/3 A= -24 - - - (1)

Equation 2 :

20= -B/0.2 - - - (2)

A.) Coordinate of point A:

2/3 A= -24

2A/3 = - 24

Cross multiply :

2A = 3 * - 24

2A = - 72

A = - 72 / 2

A = - 36

B.)

Coordinate of point B:

20= -B/0.2

Cross multiply :

-B = 20 * 0.2

-B = 4

Divide through by - 1

B = - 4

C.)

Distance between points A and B:

Point B - Point A

-4 - (-36)

-4 + 36

= 32
