Line QR is located at Q(-5,-8) and R (-1,3) which pair of points would form a segment congruent to QR?
(-4,9) and (7,5)
(7,4) and (-3,5)
(3,-5) and (1,-6)
(-10,2) and (-1,6)

Answer:

(-4,9) and (7,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line QR belongs to the following family of line segments:

[tex]\vec l_{QR} = (-1+5,3+8)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{QR} = (4,11)[/tex]

The length of the line segment is:

[tex]\|l_{QR}\| = \sqrt{4^{2}+11^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\|l_{QR}\| = \sqrt{137}[/tex]

A segment is congruent to that family of segments only if its family of line segments has the same length. Then:

[tex]\vec l_{A} = (7+4,5-9)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{A} = (11, -4)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{B} = (-3-7,5-4)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{B} = (-10, 1)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{C} = (1-3,-6+5)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{C} = (-2,1)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{D} = (-1+10,6-2)[/tex]

[tex]\vec l_{D} = (9,4)[/tex]

Only the first option satisfies the condition of congruence, whose length is:

[tex]\|l_{A}\| = \sqrt{11^{2}+(-4)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\|l_{A}\| = \sqrt{137}[/tex]
