Previously, you have proven theorems directly by us
ing two forms of proofs—paragraph and two-column.
Also, you have verified theorems indirectly through
the process of proof by contradiction. In Unit 5 y
ou proved
theorems in yet another way—through coordinate proo
fs. When you construct a coordinate proof, you
combine the laws of the coordinate plane, algebra,
and geometry.
In coordinate proofs, you start by placing a figure
on the coordinate plane. Do not haphazardly place
it
anywhere. Place it in a way that your calculations
will be as simple as possible.
The following guidelines help you do that.
• Place the entire figure in the _____________ quad
rant.
• Place at least one side of the polygon on either
the x- or y- _____________.
• Place a center or vertex at the _____________
