Verify if the segments are congruent with the given coordinates.

J(-3,4), K(2,4), L(1,3), and M(1,-2)
JK and LM
J(-3,4) and K(2,4)
x = |x1 - x2|

L(1,3), and M(1,-2)

y = |y1 - y2|
= |-3 - (-2)|
= |-5|
=5

Therefore the segments are congruent

Vocabulary
Segment Bisector-

A point, ray, line, line segment or plane that intersects

the segment at its midpoint.

Point M is the midpoint of VW. Find the length of VM

4x - 1
V

3x + 3
M

Step 1

Write down equation

VM = MW

Step 2

Substitute the values

4x - 1 = 3x + 3

Step 3

Solve for the variable

4x - 1 = 3x + 3
-3x
-3x
1x - 1 = 3
+1 +1
x=4

Point M is the midpoint of VW. Find the length of VM

4x - 1
V

Step 4

Evaluate

3x + 3
M

VM = 4x - 1
= 4(4) - 1
= 16 - 1
= 15

Therefore the length of VM is 15

Point S is the midpoint of RT. Find the length of ST

5x - 1
