Answer:

Point M will be located between 0 and 1 at [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points A and B have been given on a number line.

Point A is at -3 and point B at 7.

Distance between these points AB = 7 - (-3)

                                                           = 7 + 3

                                                           = 10 units

Another point M divides the given segment AB in the ratio of 4 : 9.

Therefore, length of segment AM will be = [tex]\frac{4\times 10}{(4+9)}[/tex]

                                                                    = [tex]\frac{40}{13}[/tex]

                                                                    = [tex]3\frac{1}{13}[/tex] units

Now the position of point M will be at [tex](-3+3\frac{1}{13})[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Therefore, point M will be located between 0 and 1 at [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex].
