Question

Fing the slope of the midsegment of trapeziod ABCD given A(-2,-2) B(0,4) C(8,8) and D(4,-4). it has to be ether -1/3 or 1/2 or 3 or -2 thanks

Answer 1

I'm not sure what is meant by "midsegment". Is it the line segment joining the midpoint of BC and the midpoint of AD?

If so, the coordinates of the midpoint of BC are ((0+8)/2, (4+8)/2) = (4, 6); the coordinates of the midpoint of AD are ((-2+4)/2, (-2-4)/2) = (1, -3)

Slope of this segment is (6-(-3))/(4-1) = 9/3 = 3
