overline JL is a perpendicular bisector of overline KM Hallie locates point H along line segment overline JL. If the length of overline KH is given by 6y+3 and the length of overline HM is given by 2y+7 , what is the length in units of segment overline HM ? (1 point) 8 1 9 18

Points on a perpendicular bisector are equidistant from the segment's endpoints, so KH = HM.
Set 6y + 3 = 2y + 7 → 4y = 4 → y = 1.
HM = 2y + 7 = 2(1) + 7 = 9.

Answer: 9.
