Question

What is the slope of the midsegment that is parallel to TU

Answer 1

Zero lines that are horizontal there slope is zero

Answer 2

To find the slope, we first need to find the midpoints of TV and UV.

TV

`(x1+x2)/(2) , (y1+y2)/(2)`

`(-6+-3)/(2) , (-6+-2)/(2)`

`(-9)/(2) , (-8)/(2)`
=(-4.5,-4)

UV

`(-6+1)/(2) , (-2+-6)/(2)`

`(-5)/(2) , (-8)/(2)`
=(-2.5,-4)

Then we find the slope of this line.


`(-4-(-4))/(-2.5-(-4.5))`

`(-4+4)/(-2.5+4.5)`

`(0)/(2)`

Since 0/2 is 0, the slope would be 0. (B)
