A scalene triangle with its base oriented nearly vertical is formed by the intersection of two lines and a line segment. A third line slopes upward from left to right and passes through the base of the triangle and its apex.
Lexi started with CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
on her paper. She folded her paper so that point C
was on top of point D
. Then, she unfolded her paper and labeled the intersection of the fold and the line segment with point E
. She used a straight edge to draw QR←→
at an arbitrary angle through point E
. Finally, she drew CR←→
through points C
and R
and DR←→
through points D
and R
. Which line segment or line is the segment bisector in this scenario?

The segment bisector in this scenario is the line segment or line that is perpendicular to the line segment CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ at point E and divides it into two equal parts. Given that Lexi folded her paper so that point C was on top of point D, the intersection point E indicates where the bisector meets CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
Therefore, the correct response is:
CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
