Question

The slope of GH is 5. which segments are parallel to GH? Please help me.

Answer 1

Segment WX is parallel to GH.

Explanation:

Any segments parallel to GH have the same slope as GH, namely, m = 5.

Note that m = slope = rise / run = 5/1.

Consider the first Answer Choice WX. Here we go from (3, 1) to (4, 6).

x increases by 1 and y increases by 5, so that the slope of WX is m = 5/1 = 1.

Segment WX is parallel to GH.
