a.
To prove:Quadrilateral PQRSis not a parallelogram.
a.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:InQuadrilateral PQRS, The coordinates of point Pare
The coordinates of point Q are
The coordinates of point Rare
The coordinates of point S are
Formula used:
Slope of a line:
Proof:
The coordinates of point Pare
The coordinates of point Q are
The coordinates of point Rare
The coordinates of point S are
We now check the slopes of QuadrilateralPQRS.
Slope of
Slope of
Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
Quadrilateral PQRS is not a parallelogram because both pairs of opposite sides have to be parallel.
b.
To prove: Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
