Proving Parallelograms in the Coordinate Plane

If you can prove that one pair of opposite sides are congruent, you can prove that the shape is a parallelogram.

• True

• False

You can use the slope formula to calculate the lengths of opposite sides of a parallelogram.

• True

• False

You can prove both pairs of opposite sides are congruent in a parallelogram using the distance formula.

• True

• False

You can prove both pairs of opposite sides are parallel by using the slope formula.

• True

• False

Which of the following has the slope formula written correctly?

•  $\frac{\left(y_2-y_1\right)}{\left(x_2-x_1\right)}$

• $\frac{\left(x_2-x_1\right)}{\left(y_2-y_1\right)}$

• $\frac{\left(y_1-y_2\right)}{\left(x_2-x_1\right)}$

• $\frac{\left(x_1-y_1\right)}{\left(x_2-y_2\right)}$

What formula would you use to show lengths are equal?

• Slope Formula

• Distance Formula

• Midpoint Formula
