Question

When given the information below, can you conclude that Quadrilateral WXYZ is a parallelogram? Why or why not?

In Quadrilateral WXYZ, the sides have the following slopes:
WX: m = 1/3
XY: m = -3
YZ: m = -3
WZ: m = 1/3
A) No, because opposite sides are not congruent
Eliminate
B) No, because opposite sides are not parallel
C) Yes, because opposite sides are congruent
D) Yes, because opposite sides are parallel

Answer 1

B) No, because opposite sides are not parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel to each other hence we expect the sides to have the same gradient.

The gradient of side WX=YZ  and that of sides WZ=XY
