Use the graph to answer the question. https://learning.k12.com/content/enforced/384547-COF_ID96714/G-GPE.B.6%20Q2.JPG?_&d2lSessionVal=620X16hZ6jQlBXEPVcVD6laIk Point G is drawn on the line segment so that the ratio of FG to GH is 5 to 1. What are the coordinates of point G ? A. (4.5, 5) B. (-5.5, -3) C. (-5, -2.6) D. (4, 4.6)

mhchen:

|dw:1541130018485:dw| I imagine it like this: If FG to GH is 5:1 Then the x-part and the y-part is also 5:1 ratio. First we got to find the length of the x-bar and y-bar

mhchen:

|dw:1541130137549:dw| Can you first find the length of that red line?

mhchen:

|dw:1541130191116:dw|sorry I'm on a bus and my bus stop just came (and I can't draw on a bus lol) ill brb

bill533:

it would be 5

mhchen:

Okay I'm back. Sorry look at the picture you sent me. On the x-line it goes from -8 to 7. That's a total of 15

mhchen:

Do you see what I'm saying? |dw:1541130600195:dw|

bill533:

oh yes now i do

mhchen:

Okay so since FG to GH is 5:1, that means FG is 5/6 of FH. For the x-coordinate it's the same idea: 5/6 of 15 is 12.5

mhchen:

|dw:1541130758569:dw|

mhchen:

And since the x-coordinate of F is -8. To find the x-coordinate of G we do -8 + 12.5 What's -8 + 12.5?

bill533:

4.5

mhchen:

Yup.

mhchen:

Now we could do the same thing for the y-part, the vertical line. But you already know that the x-part is 4.5 and only one of your answer choices has 4.5 as the x-coordinate. Do you see it?

bill533:

A

mhchen:

ye

bill533:

ok thank you on that but is it fine if you could help me with a few more please

mhchen:

sure

bill533:

post a new question or here ?

mhchen:

just do it here idc

bill533:

ok i'm glad you said that

bill533:

Determine the point P that partitions the directed line segment AB into a ratio of 1:3, where A (2, 3) and B (14, 11). Blank 1: x-coordinate Blank 2: y-coordinate Blank # 1 ___________ Blank # 2 ____________

mhchen:

Ah same thing as we did. The x-coordinate is (14-2) * 1/4 The y-coordinate is (11-3) * 1/4

bill533:

what were you gonna say ?

mhchen:

I was gonna write a formula to solve these problems but nvm xd

bill533:

ohh sorry

mhchen:

|dw:1541131262688:dw|

mhchen:

The ratio is 1:3. That means there's 4 pieces. (1+3) 1 is to the left of P, 3 is to the right of P

bill533:

A correct ?

mhchen:

yeah

bill533:

Point A is at (-3, -5) and point B is at (1, -9). What is the midpoint of line segment AB? https://learning.k12.com/content/enforced/384547-COF_ID96714/G-GPE.B.6%20Q3.JPG?_&d2lSessionVal=szCZpsky3jFxsW8xRKwbYusXX ( ___________, _____________________ )

mhchen:

Well the midpoint is basically 1:1 ratio. So 1-(-3) * 1/2 is the x-coordinate -9 - (-5) * 1/2 is the y-coordinate

bill533:

Line segment AB is shown on the graph. https://learning.k12.com/content/enforced/384547-COF_ID96714/G-GPE.B.6%20Q1.JPG?_&d2lSessionVal=620X16hZ6jQlBXEPVcVD6laIk Emily draws point C on the line segment so that the ratio of AC to CB is 3 to 1. What are the coordinates of point C? A. (-1, 2) B. (4, -0.5) C. (3, 0) D. (-2, 2.5)

bill533:

the answer is B right i wanted to ask you to be sure

mhchen:

yeah

mhchen:

Geez that's a lot. Well 1. Is Given because it says Given: line m is parallel to n

mhchen:

Angle 1 and angle 2 are corresponding angles. You know that all corresponding angles are congruent right?

mhchen:

For 3. All congruent angles have the same angle measure.

mhchen:

For 4. That's basically just the definition of a linear pair.

mhchen:

For 5. ALL linear pairs have a sum of 180 degrees. So they're supplementary.

mhchen:

Well I guess 5. was that all Linear Pairs are Supplementary angles. And for 6. All Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. Follow me so far?

bill533:

yes so far

mhchen:

Remember from step 3. that measure angle 1 = measure angle 2? And from step 6 measure angle 2 + measure angle 3 = 180? We can replace measure angle 2 with measure angle 1 in step 6 so it becomes. measure angle 1 + measure angle 3 = 180. That's the substitution property of equality

mhchen:

And for #8, that's just the definition of supplementary angles: All angles that add up to 180 are supplementary angles.

bill533:

one thing for the first one on number 5 is do i put supplementary or supplementary angles or All Linear Pairs are supplementary angles ?

mhchen:

All Linear Pairs are supplementary angles

mhchen:

Starting with the 2nd one:

mhchen:

1. is Given. Obviously

mhchen:

2. Is definition of Linear Pair. Just by looking at the graph they form a straight line

mhchen:

3. As we've said, all linear pairs are supplementary angles.

mhchen:

4. And all supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees

mhchen:

Now for 5, the Triangle Sum Theorem says that all angles inside a triangle add up to 180 degrees. That would mean angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3 is 180 degrees

mhchen:

For 6. We already proved that angle 3 + angle 4 is 180 degrees. So this is like substituting the equation in 5. So I would call this Substitution property of equality.

mhchen:

For the final one 7. We had to prove that measure angle 1 + measure angle 2 = measure angle 4.

mhchen:

We get that by subtracting measure angle 3 from both sides of the equation from 6. So that would be the subtraction property of equality.

mhchen:

bro I'm tired now. gonna go sleep.

bill533:

alright one more question and that's it please ? one last question

bill533:

mhchen:

Okay so squares and rhombi |dw:1541133816865:dw| Here's a diagram I drew comparing a Square and a Rhombi

mhchen:

So for a, you could say that they all have sides of the same length. And for b you could say that squares only have right-angles

mhchen:

|dw:1541134006959:dw|

mhchen:

For C, you could say that both of them have 2 pairs of parallel sides. and for D, only rectangles need to have right-angles.

bill533:

thanks a lot mhchen for all your help

bill533:

i appreciate it
