Graph the points A(-5,6), B(1,3), D(-8,0), and E(-2,-3). Draw Line AB, Line AE, Line, BD, and Line DE. label point C, the intersection of Line AE and Line BD.

Find the slopes of Line AE and Line BD. What are the coordinates of C?

Use the distance formula to find the lengths of Line AB, Line BC, Line DC, and Line DE.

Explain how you would prove that Triangle ABC is congruent to Triangle EDC.

I have drawn exactly what you have described......well, at least some of it....

 

Notice that AE and BD don't interesect, at all...!!! And the two triangles formed aren't congruent - or similar - either.......are you sure you have the correct info, here???

I'd have been happier if there had actually been a logical question to solve....but, as is, it is an impressive  piece of "art"......LOL!!!

I like it - it is good to play with these presentation tools.

Did you have a play with the 'table' tool above?  

It is a pity that there are no borders to go with it but it is still handy and easy to use.  :)
