Answers:
- Part A) There is one pair of parallel sides
- Part B) (-3, -5/2) and (-1/2, 5/2)
====================================================
Explanation:
Part A
By definition, a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The other opposite sides aren't parallel. In this case, we'd need to prove that PQ is parallel to RS by seeing if the slopes are the same or not. Parallel lines have equal slopes.
------------------------
Part B
The midsegment has both endpoints as the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
The midpoint of segment PS is found by adding the corresponding coordinates and dividing by 2.
x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-4+(-2))/2 = -6/2 = -3
y coord = (y1+y2)/2 = (-1+(-4))/2 = -5/2
The midpoint of segment PS is (-3, -5/2)
Repeat those steps to find the midpoint of QR
x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+1)/2 = -1/2
y coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (3+2)/2 = 5/2
The midpoint of QR is (-1/2, 5/2)
Join these midpoints up to form the midsegment. The midsegment is parallel to PQ and RS.
Answer:

Answer:
The graph is stretched by a factor of 2, moves 2 units to the left, and 1 unit up.
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the quadratic function is

We can transform this function to look narrower or wider.
Looking narrower is termed a stretch.
This happens when a>1
Looking wider is termed a compression.
This happens when 0<a<1
We can also

+h moves the parent graph to the left by h units
-h moves the parent graph to the left by h units.
+ k moves the parent function up by k units
- k moves the parent function down by k units.
The change that occurs to

given

is that, the graph is stretched by a factor of 2, moves 2 units to the left, and 1 unit up
Therefore the last choice is the correct answer.
