M(-3,4) N(-3,-4) O(0,-3) P(4,-3)
which of the following is true of MP and NO
To determine if MP and NO are true, we need to find the slopes of the two lines.
The slope of MP can be found using the formula: slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Using the coordinates of M(-3,4) and P(4,-3), the slope of MP is:
slope of MP = (-3-4)/(4-(-3)) = -7/7 = -1
The slope of NO can be found using the formula: slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Using the coordinates of N(-3,-4) and O(0,-3), the slope of NO is:
slope of NO = (-3-(-4))/(0-(-3)) = 1/3
Since the slopes of MP and NO are not equal, it means that the two lines are not parallel.
Therefore, the statement "MP and NO are parallel" is FALSE.
