Emmanuel Glass · Answer 1

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

You have to calculate the slope for each pair, and if the slope is equal - 3 the segment is parallel to MN.

For example:

TU: slope = (10-1) / (5-8) = 9/-3 = - 3 then TU is parallel to MN

For WX:

slope = (0-6) / (4-2) = - 6/2 = - 3 then WX is parallel to MN

IF you do the same for PQ and RS you will get a diferent value for slope.
