The slope of gh is 5. which segments are parallel to gh ? choose all answers that are correct. pq, where p is at (4, 15) and q is at (2, 5) rs, where r is at (3, 6) and s is at (8, 7) tu, where t is at (6, 4) and u is at (11, 3) wx, where w is at (3, 1) and x is at (4, 6)

Find the slope of each line, and the line with the same slope as GH will be the answer.

PQ = (5-15)/(2-4) = -10/-2 = 5

RS = (7-6)/(8-3) = 1/5

TU = (3-4)/(11-6) = -1/5

WX = (6-1)/(4-3) = 5/1 = 5

The answers are WX and PQ.

Hope this helps :)

The correct answers are:
___________________________________________________
  [A]:  " PQ, where P is at (4, 15) and Q is at (2, 5) " ;  AND:
___________________________________________________
  [D]:  " WX, where W is at (3, 1) and X is at (4, 6) " .

Explanation:
______________________________________________
Note:  if the slope is the same (i.e., if the "slope" is "5" ), then the segment is "parallel" .

  The slope, "m" :   m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) ;
______________________________________________
Consider the answer choices:
______________________________________________
 [A]:  "(4, 15)" and "(2, 5)" .  y₂ = 5 ;  y₁ = 15 ; x₂ = 2 ; x₁ = 4 ; 

       m =  (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (5 - 15) / (2 - 4) = -10/ -2 = 5 .

So choice [A]:  is an answer.
________________________________________________
 [B]:  "(3, 6)" and "(8, 7)" .  y₂ = 7 ;  y₁ = 6 ; x₂ = 8 ;  x₁ = 3 ; 

       m =  (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (7 - 6) / (8 - 3) = 1 /5 ;   1/5 5 ; 

So choice [B]: is NOT an answer.
___________________________________________________
 [C]:  "(6, 4)" and "(11, 3)" .  y₂ = 3 ;  y₁ = 4 ; x₂ = 11 ; x₁ = 6 ; 

       m =  (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (3 - 4) / (11 - 6) =  -1 /5 ;   1/5 5 ; 

So choice [C]: is NOT an answer.
___________________________________________________
 [D]:  "(3, 1)" and "(4, 6)" .  y₂ = 6 ;  y₁ = 1 ; x₂ = 4 ;  x₁ = 3 ; 

       m =  (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (6 - 1) / (4 - 3) =  5 / 1 =  5 ;  ;  
1/5 5 ; 

So choice [D]:  is an answer.

  [D]:  " WX, where W is at (3, 1) and X is at (4, 6) " .
