Question

Use the image below, answer the following questions. Be sure to answer all 3 questions in order.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Yes

b. VT

c. Segment RQ

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Find the slope of RS and UV

Slope = rise/run

Slope of RS = rise/run = RQ/QS

Slope of RS = 6/6

Slope of RS = 1

Slope of UV = rise/run = UT/TV

Slope of UV = 3/3

Slope of UV = 1

Thus, TS and UV have equivalent slopes

b. Slope of VT:

VT is an horizontal line.

It has no rise. But only run.

Therefore, it's rise = 0, while run = VT = 3

Slope of VT = rise/run = 0/3

Slope of VT = 0

c. Vertical lines have undefined slope.

Segment RQ is vertical line and therefore has an undefined slope.

RQ has rise but no run.

Thus:

Rise = 6

Run = 0

Slope of Segment RQ = 6/0 (this can't divide)

Therefore, slope of Segment RQ is undefined.
