Answer:
- B. Quadrilateral FLAG is a parallelogram because opposite sides are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached.</em>
Plot the point and connect in order FLAG.
<u>We see </u>
- FL ║ GA
- GF ║ AL
- FA and GL are not perpendicular
<u>All the above can be confirmed by calculating the slopes:</u>
- m(FL) = (3 - 5)/(6 - 1) = -2/5
- m(GA) = (1 + 1)/(-2-3) = -2/5
- These are same.
- m(GF) = (5 - 1)/(1 + 2) = 4/3
- m(AL) = (3 + 1)/(6 - 3) = 4/3
- These are same
- m(FA) = (-1 - 5)/(3 - 1) = -3
- m(GL) = (3 - 1)/(6 +2) = -1/4
- These are negative but not reciprocal
The quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Correct choice is B
