7-110.
Tomika remembers that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.
Graph
if , , , and . Is a rhombus? Show how you know. Compare the lengths of all four sides.
Find the equations of the lines on which the diagonals lie. That is, find the equations of
and . Find the slopes and the
-intercepts of the lines and write the equations of the lines in slope-intercept form ( ). Equation for line
: Compare the slopes of
and . What do you notice? What do you know about the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines?
