Need ! what are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct a line through point a that is parallel to line j? a horizontal line j and a point a are drawn. the point a is below the horizontal line j. drag the steps and drop them in order from start to finish.

i just took the test, the correct answer is ..

1. use the straightedge to draw a line k that passes through a and intersects line j. label the point of intersection as point p.

2. place the point of the compass on point p and draw an arc that intersects line j and k. label the intersections as point q and r.

3. without changing the width of the compass opening, place the point of the compass on point a and draw an arc that intersects line k. label the intersections as point s.

4. place the point of the compass on point q and open it to width qr.

5. with the compass opening set to width qr, place the point of the compass on point s and draw an arc that intersects the arc that was drawn from point a. label the intersection of the arcs as point b.

6. use the straightedge to draw ab ←→.

1 + (6 / x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

divide using polynomial division.
