The slope of MN is -3 which segments are parallel to MN

Select each correct answer

A.) TU, were T is at (8,1) and U is at (5,10)

B.) PQ, were P is at (5,6) and Q is at (8,7)

C.) RS, were R is at (1,3) and S is at (4,2)

D.) WX, were W is at (2,6) and X is at (4,0)

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.
You have to calculate the slope for each pair, and if the slope is equal -3 the segment is parallel to MN.
For example:
TU:   slope=(10-1)/(5-8)=9/-3= -3 then TU is parallel to MN
For WX:
slope =(0-6)/(4-2)= -6/2 = -3 then WX is parallel to MN
IF you do the same for PQ and RS you will get a diferent value for slope.
