Question

use the diagram below to answer the following: name a ray with endpoint x. whats another name for ae→? name the ray that forms an opposite ray with ab→.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ray - naming rule

A ray is named with its endpoint first and then another point on the ray. Opposite rays share an endpoint and form a straight - line.

Step2: Identify opposite ray of $\overrightarrow{AB}$

The ray that forms an opposite ray with $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is $\overrightarrow{BA}$ since they share endpoint $A$ and form a straight - line.

Step3: Find another name for $\overrightarrow{AE}$

Another name for $\overrightarrow{AE}$ is $\overrightarrow{EA}$ as it represents the same set of points but with the naming starting from the other point on the ray.

Step4: Name a ray with endpoint $X$

A ray with endpoint $X$ can be $\overrightarrow{XD}$.

Answer:

1. $\overrightarrow{BA}$
2. $\overrightarrow{EA}$
3. $\overrightarrow{XD}$
