If M, N, O, and P are four points on a segment MP, what will be the correct expression to find the value of OP?

• OP = MP + (MN + NO)

• OP = MP + MN + NO

• OP = MP - (MN + NO)

• OP = MP - MN + NO

What is the line segment addition postulate?

• The line segment addition postulate states that if three points A, B, and C are collinear, then the distance between A and C is the sum of the distance between A and B and the distance between B and C.

• The line segment addition postulate states that the distance between two points is always negative

• The line segment addition postulate states that the distance between two points is always a fraction

• The line segment addition postulate states that the distance between two points is always a whole number

If AB + BC = AC, what does it represent in the context of line segment addition postulate?

• Subtraction of line segments

• Multiplication of line segments

• Division of line segments

• Addition of line segments
