Given: D is the midpoint of AB: E is the midpoint of AC Prove: DE 1 BC
Complete the missing parts of the paragraph proof
Proof
To prove that DE and BC are parallel, we need to show
that they have the same slope.
slope of DE
V
A(25, 20)
loro, o

Elab, o)
slope of BC
BIOO)
C(2,0)
Therefore, because
DE I BC.
