Statement Reason The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3) By the midpoint formula Length of s
egment DE is Square root of 5 and length of segment AC is 2 multiplied by the square root of 5 By the distance formula Segment DE is half the length of segment AC Slope of segment DE is −2 and slope of segment AC is −2 By the slope formula Segment DE is parallel to segment AC Slopes of parallel lines are equal Which of the following completes the proof?
2 answers:
The most logical order is:
- The coordinates of point D and E by the midpoint formula.
- Slope of segment DE and slope of segment AC.
- Segment DE is parallel to segment AC. Slopes of parallel lines are equal.
- Length of segment DE and length of segment AC by the distance formula.
- Segment DE is half the length of segment AC by the substitution.

Hi there!
f(x) = 2x + 6
Differentiating 2x = 2 (Power rule, dy/dx xⁿ = nxⁿ⁻¹)
Differentiating a constant always equals 0.
Thus:
f'(x) = 2
