The figure below shows three quadrilaterals on a coordinate grid: A coordinate grid is shown from positive 8 to negative 8 on th
e x axis and from positive 8 to negative 8 on the y axis. An image of a rectangle labeled E is shown on ordered pair negative 1, negative 1 and negative 3, negative 1 and negative 3, negative 2 and negative 1, negative 2. Another image of a rectangle labeled G is shown on ordered pair negative 2, negative 2 and negative 6, negative 2 and negative 6, negative 4 and negative 2, negative 4. Another image of a rectangle labeled F is shown on ordered pair negative 1, 1 and negative 1, 2, and negative 3, 2 and negative 3, 1. Which of the following statements is true about the three quadrilaterals? E and F are similar but not congruent. E and G are similar but not congruent. G and F are similar and also congruent. E and G are similar and also congruent.

Line 1 and Line 4 are parallel lines
Solution:
General equation of a line:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.
<u>To find the slope of each line:</u>
Line 1:
Slope
Line 2:
Add 7 on both sides, we get
Slope
Line 3:
Slope
Line 4:
Subtract x from both sides, we get
Multiply by on both sides, we get
Slope
<em>Two lines are parallel, if their slopes are equal.</em>
From the above slopes,
Therefore Line 1 and Line 4 are parallel lines.
