Solution

The question seems to be incomplete and a bit confusing. However, I'll try to answer based on the information given.

First, we have x^2 = 72, which means x = sqrt(72). The square root of 72 is approximately 8.48, which is an irrational number. So, on a number line from 0 to 10, x would be located between 8 and 9, closer to 8.

Next, we have y = -sqrt(72). The negative square root of 72 is approximately -8.48. So, on a number line from -10 to 10, y would be located between -9 and -8, closer to -9.

Please note that these are approximate locations because sqrt(72) and -sqrt(72) are irrational numbers.
