04.01 Using the Coordinates

Which statement explains how you could use coordinate geometry to prove the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent?

A. Use the slope formula to prove the slopes of the opposite sides are the same.

B. Use the slope formula to prove the slopes of the opposite sides are opposite reciprocals.

C. Use the distance formula to prove the lengths of the opposite sides are the same.

D. Use the distance formula to prove the midpoints of the opposite sides are the same.

The third option is the correct statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have to select the statement from the four options that explain how we can use coordinate geometry to prove the opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent.

From my point of view, the third option is the correct statement.

It gives, first we have to calculate the length of each of the opposite sides using the distance formula and then they have to be equal to prove the opposite sides are equal. (Answer)

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease

a. is correct
