Theorem: If two chords intersect within a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments (parts) of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.

Solve this equation to find x:
Answer: 6, choice B.
Answer:
L (1, - 7 )
Step-by-step explanation:
give endpoints (x₁, y₁ ( and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
( ,
)
here (x₁, y₁ ) = K (9, - 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = L (x, y )
use the midpoint formula and equate to corresponding coordinates of M
= 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
9 + x = 10 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = 1
and
= - 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
- 7 + y = - 14 ( add 7 to both sides )
y = - 7
Then L = (1, - 7 )
