Question

Which statement corrects the flaw in Gina's proof?

Answer 1

Here is the question in its entire form

Answer 2

What would be your guess?

Answer 3

(Have you tried actually drawing out what the proof describes and going through it step-by-step?

Answer 4

I have not tried that. Honestly it seems all confusing

Answer 5

As for my guess, I think I'd go with The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0 (but that is JUST a guess)

Answer 6

Try drawing it and look at segments DE and AC to see whether or not their slopes are zero.

Answer 7

Alright. I'll be back in after I draw it.

Answer 8

Alright, so after drawing the triangle and making points D and E, both segments are horizontal and therefore the slope equaling 0, so I can rule out what i said before.

Answer 9

So after some thought, I think it's "Segments DE and AC are parallel by definition of parallel lines." because since the slopes are the same, that means they're parallel by the definition of parallel lines. Am I wrong?

Answer 10

Finished my Quiz, I was correct.
