Question

tell whether the segments are congruent.
#5: * 1 point
wx and xy
choose

Explanation:

Step1: Find length of segment WX

The coordinate of W is - 1 and the coordinate of X is 4. The length of $\overline{WX}$ is $|4-(-1)|=|4 + 1|=5$.

Step2: Find length of segment XY

The coordinate of X is 4 and the coordinate of Y is 9. The length of $\overline{XY}$ is $|9 - 4|=5$.

Step3: Compare lengths

Since the length of $\overline{WX}=5$ and the length of $\overline{XY}=5$, the two segments have the same length.

Answer:

The segments $\overline{WX}$ and $\overline{XY}$ are congruent.
