EXTENDED RESPONSE Triangle DVW has vertices D(–5, –1), V(–1, –2), and W(–7, –4). Triangle LPM has vertices L(1, –5), P(2, –1), and M(4, –7). a. Graph both triangles on the same coordinate plane. b. Use your graph to make a conjecture as to whether the triangles are congruent. Explain your reasoning. c. Write a logical argument that uses coordinate geometry to support the conjecture you made in part b. Example 2A

Read the Test Item You are asked to do three things in this problem Read the Test Item You are asked to do three things in this problem. In part a, you are to graph ΔDVW and ΔLPM on the same coordinate plane. In part b, you should make a conjecture that ΔDVW  ΔLPM or ΔDVW  ΔLPM based on your graph. Finally, in part c, you are asked to prove your conjecture. / Solve the Test Item a. Example 2B

b. From the graph, it appears that the triangles have the same shapes, so we conjecture that they are congruent. c. Use the Distance Formula to show all corresponding sides have the same measure. Example 2C
