Complete the proof to show that ABCD is a parallelogram.
On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral A B C D is shown. Point A is at (negative 2, negative 2), point B is at (negative 3, 4), point C is at (2, 2), and point D is at (3, negative 4).
The slope of Line segment B C is StartFraction 4 minus 2 Over negative 3 minus 2 EndFraction = negative two-fifths
The slope of Line segment A D is StartFraction negative 4 minus (negative 2) Over 3 minus (negative 2) EndFraction = StartFraction negative 4 + 2 Over 3 + 2 EndFraction = negative two-fifths
The slope of Line segment C D is StartFraction 2 minus (negative 4) Over 2 minus 3 EndFraction = StartFraction 2 + 4 Over 2 minus 3 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over negative 1 EndFraction = negative 6
The slope of Line segment B A is StartFraction 4 minus (negative 2) Over negative 3 minus (negative 2) EndFraction = StartFraction 4 + 2 Over negative 3 + 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over negative 1 EndFraction = negative 6
and because the ________________________________. Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram because both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
lengths of consecutive sides are not equal
slopes of opposite sides are equal
lengths of opposite sides are equal
slopes of consecutive sides are not equal
