A. (7,2)
B) (5,2)
C. (2,7)
D. (1,6)

Answer 1

D. (1,6)

Explanation:

Vertical line segment:

A vertical line segment has fixed x coordinate.

In this question:

Vertical line segment that is 4 units long and is connected to (1,2).

The x-coordinate is x = 1.

The y-coordinate can be y = 2 - 4 = -2 or y = 2 + 4 = 6.

(1,6) is one of the options, so the correct answer is given by option D.
