Answer:

a) DF has the same slope as CD

Explanation:

Since the points D, F, and C all belong to the same line, we can say that the slopes of DF and CD are equal.

So, a statement that is true about the slopes of DF and CD is a statement that says that they have the same slope.

The slope of a line can be calculated using the coordinates of two points as:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

So, the slope of DF can be calculated by replacing (x2, y2) by F(1, 7) and (x1, y1) by D(-1, -2), so:

[tex]m=\frac{7-(-2)}{1-(-1)}=\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

In the same way, the slope of CD can be calculated by replacing (x2, y2) by D(-1, -2) and (x1, y1) by C(0, 4), so:
