Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral which has two pairs of parallel sides.

Attached is shown in the parallelogram obtained by plotting the vertices provided in Option C.

If that figure is a parallelogram, then:

$Slope\ AB=Slope\ CD\\\\Slope\ BC=Slope\ AD$

Let's check this:

$Slope\ AB=\frac{-2-3}{-5-(-3)}=\frac{5}{2}$

$Slope\ CD=\frac{0-5}{1-3}=\frac{5}{2}$

$Slope\ BD=\frac{3-5}{-3-3}=\frac{1}{3}$

$Slope\ DA=\frac{-2-0}{-5-1}=\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, the set of vertices that forms a parallelogram is:

$A(-5, -2), B(-3, 3), C(3, 5), D(1, 0)$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 3 is correct

A(-5, -2), B(-3, 3), C(3, 5), D(1, 0) set of vertices forms a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is given by:

slope = y2-y1

over      x2-x1

Properties of the parallelogram:

• Opposite sides are equal and parallel.

• Diagonals are unequal

• Slope of the opposite sides are equal.

• Opposite angles are equal.

• Consider the set of vertices:

A(-5, -2), B(-3, 3), C(3, 5), D(1, 0)

⇒Slope of AB =Slope of CD and Slope of BC = Slope of AD

By property of parallelogram:

⇒A(-5, -2), B(-3, 3), C(3, 5), D(1, 0) set of vertices forms a parallelogram
