1.A quadrilateral has exactly two lines of symmetry, its two pairs of opposite angles are equal, and its diagonals are not equal in length. Write down the name of this quadrilateral.
(a)Parallelogram
(b)Rhombus
(c)Square
(d)Kite
2.Line 1 passes through (0, 1) and (2, 5). Line 2 passes through (3, 2) and (5, 6). Work out the gradient of each line. Then write down whether the two lines are parallel.
(a)Parallel, since both gradients are 2
(b)Not parallel, since the gradients are 2 and 4
(c)Parallel, since both lines pass through positive coordinates
(d)Not parallel, since the two lines cross the y-axis at different points
