Matikas is writing a coordinate proof to show that the midpoints of a quadrilateral are the vertices of a parallelogram. He starts by assigning coordinates to the vertices of quadrilateral RSTV and labeling the midpoints of the sides of the quadrilateral as A, B, C, and D.

Quadrilateral R S T V in a coordinate plane with vertex R at 0 comma 0, vertex S in the first quadrant at 2 a comma 2b, vertex T also in the first quadrant at 2 c comma 2 d, and vertex V on the positive side of the x-axis at 2 c comma 0. Point A is between points R and S, point B is between points S and T, point C is between points T and V, and point D is between points R and V.

Enter the answers, in simplified form, by filling in the boxes to complete the proof.

The coordinates of point A are (
,

).

The coordinates of point B are (a+c, b+d)

.

The coordinates of point C are (
,

).

The coordinates of point D are (c, 0)

.

The slope of both AB¯¯¯¯¯
and DC¯¯¯¯¯ is dc

.

The slope of both AD¯¯¯¯¯
and BC¯¯¯¯¯ is

.

Because both pairs of opposite sides are parallel, quadrilateral ABCD

is a parallelogram.

If its non of them tell me..valerie took a day-trip. she drove from her house for a while and took a coffee break. after her coffee break, she continued driving. after  2  hours of driving after her coffee break, her distance from her house was  210  miles. her average speed during the whole trip was  60  miles per hour. valerie created the equation  y−210=60(x−2)  to represent this situation, where  xx  represents the time in hours from her coffee break and  yy  represents the distance in miles from her house. which graph correctly represents valerie's distance from her house after her coffee break?
