Question

Begin by translating polygon ABCD. Create a line segment of length 5 units to the right of points A, B, C, and D. Connect the points you created to form a polygon that is congruent to ABCD. When you’re done, you’ll have translated polygon ABCD to the right by 5 units. Measure the slopes of the line segments (i.e., construction paths) you created. Record the measurements in the table

Answer 1

Answer: As GH moves, the reflected image changes its position with respect to the position of the line. The polygons will touch one another if the line of reflection touches polygon ABCD.

Answer 2

AE: M=0

BF: M=0

CG: M=0

DH:M=0

Explanation:

The vertices may be different, but the slope of each line is m = 0.
