Answer:
D: 2/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually when we talk about a point partitioning a segment, we are interested in the ratio of the first segment to the second:
BC : CD = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1
Since this is not an answer choice, we need to "reverse engineer" the answer list to see if we can find an answer that corresponds to a reasonable interpretation of the question.
__
None of the segments is 3 units long, so neither of answer choices A or B makes any sense.
While segment BD is 4 units long, there is no segment that is 1 unit long, so answer choice C makes no sense, either.
There are segments that are 2 units long and a segment that is 4 units long, so if we interpret the question to be "what is the ratio of BC to BD?" then answer choice D is appropriate.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
One property of a parallelogram is that diagonals bisect each other. This means that it "divides" each other in to two equal parts.
Since FK is 6, that means that KH is also 6.
Then you have to add both of those because FK and KH both make up the diagonal FH, FH is 12.
Y = 2x - 17, comparing to y = mx + c, slope m = 2.
If perpendicular, the new slope would be -1/2, that is the negative reciprocal of 2.
And passing through (-8 , 1).
using y = mx + c, and x = -8, y = 1, m = -1/2
1 = -1/2*-8 + c
1 = 4 + c
1 - 4 = c
c = -3
y = mx + c, substituting m = -1/2, and c = -3, y = -(1/2)x - 3.
Option C.
