What is the flaw in Gina’s proof?
A) Points D and E must be constructed, not simply labeled, as midpoints.
B) Segments DE and AC are parallel by construction. THIS IS THE FLAW. THE SEGMENTS WERE NOT DRAWN NOR PROPERLY IDENTIFIED.
C) The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0.
D) The coordinates of D and E were found using the Distance between Two Points Postulate

Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)
Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4=
and 11/4=
. Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio <em>3</em> to <em>1</em> from <em>C</em> to <em>D</em>. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is (
).
I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.
Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.
