USING YOUR ALGEBRA SKILLS 3<br />
1. perpendicular<br />
2. neither<br />
3. perpendicular<br />
4. parallel<br />
5. possible answer: (2, 5) and (7, 11)<br />
6. possible answer: (1, 5) and (2, 12)<br />
7. Ordinary; no two slopes are the same, so no<br />
sides are parallel, although TE EM because their<br />
slopes are opposite reciprocals.<br />
8. Ordinary, for the same reason as in Exercise 7—<br />
none of the sides are quite parallel.<br />
9. trapezoid: KC RO<br />
10a. Slope HA slope ND 1<br />
6 ;<br />
slope HD slope NA 6. Quadrilateral HAND<br />
is a rectangle because opposite sides are parallel<br />
and adjacent sides are perpendicular.<br />

10b. Midpoint HN midpoint AD 1<br />
diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.<br />
11a. Yes, the diagonals are perpendicular.<br />
Slope OE 1; slope VR 1.<br />
11b. Midpoint VR midpoint OE (2, 4).<br />
The diagonals of OVER bisect each other.<br />
11c. OVER appears to be a rhombus. Slope<br />
2 ,3.The<br />
OV slope RE 1<br />
5 and slope OR slope<br />
VE 5, so opposite sides are parallel. Also, all of<br />
the sides appear to have the same length.<br />
12a. Both slopes equal 1<br />
2 .<br />
12b. The segments are not parallel because they<br />
are coincident.<br />
12c. distinct<br />
13. (3, 6)
