Answer:
Edit: This is incorrect, it might actually be the 3rd answer, draw arcs on either side of a given point on the line?
Draw arcs on either side of a given point off of the line I believe.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bisect a Segment:
Step 1 - open up your compass so that it is slightly larger than the segment. Put the compass on point A on the given segment and swing an arc above and below the lines. Do the same on point B. Create the points where the circle intersects.
Step 2 - Draw a line going through the points. That’s the bisector.

Answer:
y = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 22, - 14) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 18, - 12)
m = =
=
, thus
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 18, - 12) , then
- 12 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = - 12 + 9 = - 3
y = x - 3 ← equation of line
