Hurry teacher didn't put on study guide ashton is constructing the bisector of mn⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯. what should ashton do for his first step? a) use the straightedge to extend mn⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ in both directions. b) use the straightedge to draw a line that passes through point m. c) place the point of the compass on point m and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is less than 1/2mn. d) place the point of the compass on point m and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 1/2mn.

1 step: Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 1/2MN.

2 step: Place the point of the compass on point N and draw an arc that has the same radius as previous one.

3 step: Connect two points of intersection of drawn arcs. Obtained line will be bisector.

option D.

b = -6 (Answer d)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept equation is y = -2x + b, and we know that the line passes through (-5, 4).  Substitute -5 for x and 4 for y, to obtain:

4 = -2(-5) + b, or

4 = 10 + b, or

b = -6 (Answer d)
