line segments

by fruti_yum » Tue Aug 04, 2009 11:25 am

Line segments ST and TU are parallel to the x-axis and the y-axis, respectively. What is the sum of the coordinates of point T ?
(1) The y-coordinate of point U is 1.
(2) The x-coordinate of point S is –5.

OA after discussion!

i could be wrong. but this feels like a time drainer that's E. there's just not enough info to pinpoint exact coordinates of T. I need lengths for this triangle that's formed. and nothing is provided, except the x of one point and y of another. its a clunker.
