Question 1126779: the coordinates of the vertices of a square ABCD are A(0,6) B (2,1) C (7,3) D (5,8)
i) find the gradient of all four sides of ABCD
ii) what do you observe about the gradients of the opposite sides of a square ?

slope of AB

slope of BC

slope of CD

slope of AD

----------------------------------
AB is parallel to CD ( same slope )
BC is parallel to AD ( same slope )
Opposite sides have same slope
