I need help in this!!!!! Like much help ****ill write the question attAched***

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let A=(0,0), B=(6,2), C=(-5,2), D=(7,6), E=(-1,7), and F=(5,9). Draw lines AB,CD,and EF. Verify that they are parallel. (A) draw the transversal of slope -1 that goes through E. this transversal intersects line AB at G and line CD at H. (B) draw any transversal whose slope is 2 (it needs to not go through E) intersecting line AB at P, line CD at Q, and line EF at R. Use your ruler to measure PQ and QR

@Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Find the slopes of the lines to show that they are parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shouldn't I first graph it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you want that would be fine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already drew it. I just don't get a and b @Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

a. Start at point E. Go down 1 and right 1. Draw that line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I did that , what's the next step?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

b. Choose a point. Go up 2 and right 1. Draw that line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By choose a point , what point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you read the directions?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

draw any transversal whose slope is 2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

intersecting line AB at P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I'll draw a line right in (2,0) correct?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know what a transversal is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A transversal is a line that goes between 2 parallel lines.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That's why the problem started by telling you to draw AB, CD, and EF and then to verify that they are parallel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so then 2 does go into two parallel lines

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Once you have parallel lines, you can draw transversals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I drew it.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Does it intersect all the lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it does.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you label the points of intersection P, Q, and R?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just did. And I got it ow. Thank so oso much (:
