10. We will graph the coordinates of the vertices in the plane:

11. From G to H, we can find the ris by looking at the difference between their y-coordinates:

[tex]y_h-y_g=3-0=3[/tex]

The rise is 3.

12. The difference in x coordinates is:

[tex]x_h-x_g=2-0=2[/tex]

The run is 2.

13. If we add the rise and the run to J, we get the coordinates of I:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x_i=x_j+2=6+2=8 \\ y_i=y_j+3=1+3=4 \\ I=(8,4) \end{gathered}[/tex]

14. We add I(8,4) to the plot and connect the points:

15. We have to calculate the slopes of IH and GJ:

[tex]m_{ih}=\frac{y_i-y_h}{x_i-x_h}=\frac{4-3}{8-2}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex][tex]m_{jg}=\frac{y_j-y_g}{x_j-x_g}=\frac{1-0}{6-0}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Both slopes have the same value: m_ih = m_jg = 1/6.

16. As the slopes are equal, that tells us that the segments are parallel.
