Question

as part of a picture, gary drew a ray with three points labeled r, s, and t on it. the ray gary drew started at point r and had point s between r and t. which could not be part of the picture gary drew? a ray that starts at point r and passes through point s. a line segment that starts at point r, passes through point s, and ends at point t. a ray that starts at point s and passes through point t. a line segment that starts at point r, passes through point t, and ends at point s.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand ray and line - segment properties

A ray starts at a point and extends infinitely in one - direction. A line segment has two endpoints. Given the ray starts at R and S is between R and T.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: A ray starting at R and passing through S is possible as per the given condition.
• Option B: A line segment from R passing through S and ending at T is possible.
• Option C: A ray starting at S and passing through T is possible.
• Option D: Since S is between R and T, a line segment starting at R, passing through T and ending at S is not possible as the order of points is wrong.

Answer:

D. A line segment that starts at point R, passes through point T, and ends at point S.
