Which statement explains how you could use coordinate geometry to prove that quadrilateral abcd is a square?
a. prove that all sides are congruent, and the slopes of consecutive sides are opposite reciprocals
b. prove that segments ad and ab are congruent and parallel
c. prove that opposite sides are congruent and that the slopes of consecutive sides are equal
d. prove the segments bc and cd are congruent and parallel

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?

Ireally need subtract and simplify.(-y^2 – 4y - 8) – (-4y^2 – 6y + 3)show your work, ! i will mark you brainliest but you have to show your work.

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
