(100 pts.) Determine whether the following statement is sometimes, always, or never true. Justify your answer.

If line XY is on a number line and point W is 2/5 of the distance from X to Y, then the coordinate of point W is greater than the coordinate of point X.

Sometimes. It depends on if the value of X is negative or positive. If x is positive then w is less, if x is negative then W is greater

w is situated at 2/5th of the distance X and Y .

If XY be X

then

  • XW=X/5×2=2x/5
  • YW=3x/5

Hence

X-W-Y

or Y-W-X

  • Hence its sometimes true
