Question

answer options are:

A) (3.5, 0.5)
B) (3.6, 1)
C) (4.3, 3)
D) (4.5, 3.5)

answers B and C have a small horizontal line above the x coordinate decimal place. i have no idea what that means.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A) (3.5, 0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The small horizontal line represents that that digit is repeated to the right of the decimal point ad infinitum. Example would be the decimal equivalent of 1/9 = 0.11111111111... or 0.1 overbar

so 3.6 overbar  would be 3.6666666... or 3⅔

and 4.3 overbar would be 4.3333333... or 4⅓

With AB being 3 times longer than BC, the total distance from A to C is 4 units and AB is 3/4 of that distance.

The x value changes -2 units from 5 to 3.

The x value of B is -2(3/4) = - 1.5 from 5 or 3.5

The y value changes -6 units from A to C

The y value of B is -6(3/4) = -4.5  from 5 or 0.5

B = (3.5, 0.5)
