Plot J(-2,8), K(0,8), L(1,0), and M(1,-2) in a coordinate plane. Then determine whether JK and LM are congruent. A. Cannot be determined from the information given. O B. Cannot use Ruler Postulate for this problem. OC. JK and LM are congruent. D. JK and LM are not congruent.

C. JK and LM are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates J(-2,8), K(0,8), L(1,0), and M(1,-2), in other to determine whether JK is congruent to LM, we need to determine if the length of side JK and LM are equal i.e JK = LM

To get JK:

We will find the distance between the coordinates J(-2,8), K(0,8) to get the length JK using the formula:

JK =√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

JK = √(0-(-2))²+(8-8)²

JK = √2²+0²

JK = √4

JK = 2

For the length of LM with coordinate L(1,0), and M(1,-2)

LM = √(1-1)²+(-2-0)²

LM = √0²+(-2)²

LM = √0²+2²

LM = √0+4

LM =√4

LM = 2

Since JK = LM = 2 units, this means that JK and LM are congruent.

idk lol
