Front

What does it mean if two segments are congruent?

Back

Two segments are congruent if they have the same length. This is denoted as \( \overline{PS} \cong \overline{WX} \) implies \( PS = WX \).

What is the translation rule for moving a point 3 units left and 2 units up?

Back

The translation rule is represented as \( \langle -3, 2 \rangle \).

How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points?

Back

The slope \( m \) is calculated using the formula \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \). For points A(0,5) and B(5,0), the slope is \( m = \frac{0 - 5}{5 - 0} = -1 \).

What is the relationship between parallel lines and corresponding angles?

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal.

What is the measure of angle 6 if lines r and t are parallel and angle 6 is an alternate interior angle?

Back

If lines r and t are parallel, then the measure of angle 6 is equal to the measure of its corresponding angle.

What is the definition of a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles are two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line.

How do you find the measure of an angle when given its supplementary angle?

Back

The sum of supplementary angles is 180 degrees. If one angle is known, subtract it from 180 to find the other.

What is the formula for the distance between two points in a coordinate plane?

Back

The distance \( d \) between two points \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) is given by \( d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \).

What is the definition of vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.
