Question

mere started with $overline{ab}$ on her paper. she folded her paper so that point $a$ was on top of point $b$. then, she unfolded her paper and labeled the intersection of the fold and the line segment with point $c$. finally, she used a straight edge to draw $overleftrightarrow{gf}$ at an arbitrary angle through point $c$. what term best describes $overleftrightarrow{gf}$? (1 point) line segment bisector angle bisector perpendicular bisector midpoint

Explanation:

When Mere folded the paper so that point A was on top of point B, the fold line (and the intersection point C) bisects the line - segment AB. Then, the line $\overleftrightarrow{GF}$ drawn through the mid - point C of line segment AB is a line segment bisector as it intersects line segment AB at its mid - point. It is not an angle bisector since no angle is being divided into two equal parts, not a perpendicular bisector as the angle between $\overleftrightarrow{GF}$ and $\overline{AB}$ is arbitrary, and not a midpoint as $\overleftrightarrow{GF}$ is a line and not a point.

Answer:

line segment bisector
