Move the orange dot to \pink{SOLN_TXT} on the number line.

init({ range: [[-0.2, SECTION_LENGTH + 0.2], [-1, 1]], scale: [360 / SECTION_LENGTH, 40] }); style({arrows: ">"}); line([0, 0], [SECTION_LENGTH * 1.06, 0] ); style({arrows: "->"}); line([0, 0], [-0.06 * SECTION_LENGTH, 0]); style({arrows: ""}); for (var x = 1; x < NUM_TICKS; x++) { if (x % 10 === 0) { line([x / 10, -0.2], [x / 10, 0.2]); } else { line([x / 10, -0.12], [x / 10, 0.12]); } } style({stroke: BLUE, strokeWidth: 3.5}); line([0, -0.2], [0, 0.2]); label([0, -0.53], LOWER_BOUND, "center", {color: BLUE}); line([SECTION_LENGTH, -0.2], [SECTION_LENGTH, 0.2]); label([SECTION_LENGTH, -0.53 ], UPPER_BOUND, "center", {color: BLUE}); addMouseLayer(); graph.movablePoint = addMovablePoint({ constraints: { constrainY: true }, snapX: 0.05 }); graph.movablePoint.onMove = function(x, y) { return [min(max(0, x), SECTION_LENGTH), y]; };
graph.movablePoint.coord[0]

graph.movablePoint.setCoord([guess, 0]);

Above we've drawn the number line from \blue{LOWER_BOUND} to \blue{UPPER_BOUND}, divided into NUM_TICKS equal pieces.

The line is divided into NUM_TICKS pieces, which means:

Piece of line = \dfrac{UPPER_BOUND - LOWER_BOUND}{NUM_TICKS} = \purple{MARK_INCREMENT}

if (SECTION_LENGTH === 1) { for (var x = 1; x < 10; x++) { label([x / 10, -0.53], localeToFixed(LOWER_BOUND + x * MARK_INCREMENT, 2), "center"); } } else { for (var x = 1; x < SECTION_LENGTH; x++) { label([x, -0.53], localeToFixed(LOWER_BOUND + x * MARK_INCREMENT * 10, 2), "center"); } }

\pink{SOLN_TXT} = \blue{LOWER_BOUND} + \purple{MARK_INCREMENT} \times \green{HUNDREDTHS}

Therefore, moving the orange dot \green{HUNDREDTHS} place will put it at the position \pink{SOLN_TXT}.

Therefore, moving the orange dot \green{HUNDREDTHS} places will put it at the position \pink{SOLN_TXT}.

style({ stroke: BLUE, fill: BLUE, strokeWidth: 3.5, arrows: "->" }); line([0, 0], [SOLUTION, 0]); graph.movablePoint.visibleShape.toFront(); label([HUNDREDTHS/10, 0.53 ], SOLN_TXT, "center", { color: PINK }); graph.movablePoint.moveTo( SOLUTION, 0 );

The highlighted number shows where \pink{SOLN_TXT} is on the number line.
