Quadrilateral EFGH is on a coordinate plane. Segment FG is on the line 3x − y = −2, and segment EH is on the 3x − y = −6. Which

statement proves how segments FG and EH are related?
A) They have opposite reciprocals slopes of one third and −3 and are, therefore, perpendicular.

B) They have the same slope of negative one third and are, therefore, parallel.

C) They have opposite reciprocal slopes of negative one third and 3 and are, therefore, perpendicular.

D) They have the same slope of 3 and are, therefore, parallel.

Answer:

D) They have the same slope of 3 and are, therefore, parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Segment FG is on the line 3x − y = −2

Segment EH is on the line 3x − y = −6

Take equation of a line: y = mx + b

Where,

Slope = m

y-intercept = b

Segment FG : <em>3x - y = -2</em>

Solve for y:

y = 3x + 2

Thus, we have:

Slope = 3

y-intercept = 2

For segment EH: 3x - y = -6

Solve for y:

y = 3x + 6

Thus, we have:

Slope = 3

y-intercept = 6

Since both lines have the same slope of 3, they are parallel.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The first thing you must do is notice that <D = <BEA. Mark it that way on your diagram.

The Second thing you need to notice is that <BEA and <A are equal because <A and <D are marked as equal.

So both the large triangle and the small one are isosceles. because 2 of the 3 angles are equal.

Now are you ready for this? That means that BA = 10 because BA is opposite one of the 2 equal angles in the small triangle. So now you are ready to set up a proportion.

Proportion

AB / AC = AE/AD

Givens

AB = 10

AC = 18

AE = 8

AD = x + 8

Solution

Substitute the Givens into the Proportion.

10/18 = 8/(x + 8)                      Cross multiply

10(x + 8) = 8 * 18                     Simplify both sides

10x + 80 = 144                        Subtract 80 from both sides

10x + 80 - 80 = 144 - 80

10x = 64                                   Divide by 10

10x/10 = 64/10

Answer: x = 6.4
