Triangle HAM is translated using the rule (x,y)→(x+6, y) to create triangle H'A'M'. If a line segment is drawn from point H to point H' and from point A to point A', which statement would best describe the line segments drawn?

They share the same midpoints.

They are parallel and congruent.

They are diameters of concentric circles.

They are perpendicular to each other.

Okay, since the translation is (x+6,y) that means the x is going to be to the right 6 and the y value is going to stay the same. Lets draw a picture of what that would look like on the coordinate plane.|dw:1405460601794:dw|
