The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of line segment AD in parallelogram ABCD, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Properties of a Parallelogram**: In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel. Therefore, if AB is parallel to CD and AD is parallel to BC, their slopes will be equal. 2. **Identify Given Slopes**: We are given: - Slope of AB = -2 - Slope of BC = 3/5 3. **Determine the Slope of AD**: Since AD is parallel to BC, the slope of AD will be equal to the slope of BC. Thus: - Slope of AD = Slope of BC = 3/5 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the slope of line segment AD is 3/5. ### Final Answer: The slope of AD is \( \frac{3}{5} \). ---
