Question

Jk has endpoints j(-1,10) and k(-5,2). MN has endpoints M(9,-7) and N (1,-3).is JK congruent MN.

Answer 1

To determine if these line segments are congruent you can find the distances between the x values and the y values for each set of points.

(-1, 10) and (-5, 2). 4 on x axis and 8 on the y axis.

(9, -7) and (1, -3). 8 on the x axis and 4 on the y-axis.

This means they are congruent. Each triangle would have the same two side lengths making the hypotenuse the same.
