Question 5 (1 point)
(04.02 MC)
Quadrilateral WXYZ is on a coordinate plane. Segment is on the line , and segment is on the line . Which statement proves
how segments and WZ are related?
a They have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of 1 and -1 and are, therefore, perpendicular.
d They have the same slope of 1 and are, therefore, parallel.
They have the same slope of -1 and are, therefore, parallel.
Thare opposite reciprocals of 0 and undefined and are, therefore, perpendicular.

Segments and are parallel because they have the same slope of 1.

Solución

To determine the relationship between segments and :
  1. Find the slopes of the lines:
    • For on the line :
    • For on the line :
  2. Analyze the slopes:
    • Both lines have the same slope of 1.
  3. Conclusion:
    • Since and have identical slopes, they are parallel.
Correct Statement:
d. They have the same slope of 1 and are, therefore, parallel.
Answer: d They have the same slope of 1 and are, therefore, parallel.

When assessing the lines and , you can rewrite them in slope-intercept form, . For both lines, you’ll find that they have a slope of 1. Because they share the same slope, it proves that segments and are parallel—never intersecting, just like two well-behaved train tracks!
A common mistake is mistaking the slopes as being opposite reciprocals. When two lines have slopes that are equal, like in this case, they are parallel; however, lines with slopes that are true opposites, like 1 and -1, are perpendicular, meaning they intersect at a right angle. So, keep those definitions straight as you tackle more geometry problems!
