So I'm in Geometry and without explaining a thing, my teacher gave us homework and had us copy notes, without explaining those either.
I'm supposed to
'Draw and label a figure for each relationship.' Here's a relationship:
A line passes through C(-3,-4) R(-1,-3) and S(3,-1) but point D does not lie on Segment RS.
what am i supposed to be doing?!
and then the other relationship is:
Segment AB intersects plane P in W??
I don't get this at all, almost having an anxiety attack.lol

I doubt that this statement is true.

Based on what you've written, so far, it appears that you're supposed to draw and label a figure.

A line passes through three particular points on the xy-plane.

The names and coordinates of these three specific points are:

C(-3,-4)

R(-1,-3)

S(3,-1)

Do you know how to plot these three points on an xy-coordinate system ?

Can you label each of them with their given name ?

Can you draw a line through them ?

Can you plot a fourth point somewhere that is NOT located on the line segment joining points R and S ?

Can you label the fourth point D ?

What exactly is it that you need explained ?

I mean, if you can tell me specifically where you're stuck, I can try to help you further.
