Coordinate Geometry Quiz Review

The diagram shows quadrilateral ABCD. Which of the following would prove that ABCD is a parallelogram?

• Slope of 𝐴𝐷 = Slope of 𝐵𝐶

  Length of 𝐴𝐷 = Length of 𝐵𝐶

• Slope of 𝐴𝐷 = Slope of 𝐵𝐶

  Length of 𝐴B = Length of AD

• Length of 𝐴𝐷 = Length of 𝐵𝐶 = Length of DC

• Length of 𝐴𝐷 = Length of 𝐵𝐶 = Length of AB

Jillian and Tammy are considering a quadrilateral 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷. Their task is to prove it is a square.

Jillian says, “We just need to show that the slope of 𝐴𝐵 equals the slope of 𝐶𝐷 and the slope of 𝐵𝐶 equals the slope 𝐴𝐷.”

Tammy says, “We should show that 𝐴𝐶=𝐵𝐷 and that their slopes are opposite reciprocals."

Whose method of proof is valid?

• A. Only Jillian’s is valid.

• B. Only Tammy’s is valid.

• C. Both are valid.

• D. Neither is valid.
