FREE BRAINLIEST Which of the following statements best describes a negative consequence of the federal government's use of credit?

The government can use money from securities sales to help people in emergencies.
Government use of credit increases the total national debt and interest payments.
Interest payments on the national debt can support spending on other national needs.
Borrowed money is used by the government to improve roads, bridges, and buildings.

Easy answer would be the second option simply looking at how it sounds. "Government use of credit increases the total national debt and interest payments" it is clear that this is a bad thing.

Step-by-step explanation:

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
