In the figure below, K lies between J and L. Find the location of K so that JK is 1/7 of JL.

Answer:
-22 is the value of K.
Step-by-step explanation:
A simple way to see how far a mid-point or end-point is from another is by adding or subtracting. For this figure I added to see how many numbers would add twice to get from -15 to -29. -14 is the exact number from -15 to -29; divide that by 2 to get half of -14 which is -7. -7 + (-15) gives you -22.
Answer:
-27
Step-by-step explanation:
JL= -29-(-15)=14 units
JK= 1/7(JL)
length of JK= 1/7(14) = 2 unit
K = -29+2 = -27
