Answer:6 36 2.449
Step-by-step explanation: 36 square
Note this pattern: Mult. 24 by (-1/4) produces -6.
Mult -6 by (-1/4) produces 6/4 = 3/2
Mult. 3/2 by (-1/4) produces 3/8
Looks as though you copied the problem down incorrectly. You wrote 32 for 3/2 and -38 for -3/8.
The common ratio is -1/4.
Answer: line CD (fourth choice)
====================================================
Let's go through the choices one by one
1) Segment AB is a radius, which is not a secant line. We can rule this out.
2) line DE is a tangent line which only touches the circle at exactly one spot. We need something that cuts the circle in 2 spots for it to be a secant line. This can also be crossed off the list.
3) segment HG is a chord, which is fairly close to a secant line, but it must extend infinitely in both directions. In other words, it needs to be a line instead of a line segment. This is crossed off the list.
4) line CD is a secant line. It is a geometric line in that it goes on forever in both directions (it's not a segment, and not a ray either). Also, this line crosses the circle at 2 points, which contrasts it from a tangent line. This is the answer we want.
(y-y1)=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1 and y1 ) are the points
(y-2) = 3(x-2)
y-2=3x-6 add 2 to each side
y-2+2=3x-6+2
y=3x-4
