Question

Prove that the diagonals of kite UVWX are

perpendicular
Step 1: Determine the slope of XV.
The slope of XV is
Step 2. Determine the slope of UW
The slope of UW is
Step 3. The slopes of the diagonals are
The diagonals of kite UVWX are

Answer 1

1

-1

negative reciprocals

perpendicular

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is the slope of XV is 1.

The slope of UW is -1

The slopes of the diagonals are negative reciprocals

The diagonals of kite UVWX are perpendicular

Explanation:

Negative reciprocals in a kite create a perpendicular bisector. So the two lines share a midpoint so they are perpendicular.
