Carla and Jonah are working together to determine if quadrilateral CDEF with coordinates C(2,3), D(1,2), E(4,1), and F(5, 3) has perpendicular sides. mco = Carla sets up the following equations: 2-3 1-2 1-2 4-1 mos 3 S Jonah sets up the following equations: 2-3 тер 1-2 3-1 5 - 4 mer Who is on track to get the correct answer, and why? O Carla is on the right track because she is finding the slopes of consecutive sides to check for perpendicular sides. O Carla is on the right track because she is finding the slopes of the opposite sides to check for perpendicular sides. O Jonah is on the right track because he is finding the slopes of the opposite sides to check for perpendicular sides. Jonah is on the right track because he is finding the slopes of consecutive sides to check for perpendicular sides.

The true statement is (a) Carla is on the right track because she is finding the slopes of consecutive sides to check for perpendicular sides.

How to determine who is on the right track

Their equations are given as:

[tex]m_{CD} = \frac{2 -3}{1 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]m_{DE} = \frac{1 -2}{4 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]m_{CD} = \frac{2 -3}{1 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]m_{EF} = \frac{3 -1}{5 - 4}[/tex]

Both equations of slope are correct.

However,

Carla is checking for perpendicular lines (i.e. CD and DE)
While Jonah is checking for parallel lines (i.e. CD and EF)

Hence, Carla is on the right track
