- [Diff: 1]
- The slopeof and the slopeof both = 0 since the linesare horizontal. For ,
. Finallyfor ,
[Diff: 2]. - Sincethe slopesof the oppositesidesare equal,the oppositesidesare parallel.Therefore, is
a parallelogram[Diff: 2]. - Usingthe distanceformula,
Since is a parallelogram,we knowthat [Diff: 2].
- and [Diff: 2]
