Select each correct answer

A.) TU, were T is at (8,1) and U is at (5,10)

B.) PQ, were P is at (5,6) and Q is at (8,7)

C.) RS, were R is at (1,3) and S is at (4,2)

D.) WX, were W is at (2,6) and X is at (4,0)

    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.
