Suppose your parents started saving for your college education when you were 5 years old. Assume they saved $300 the first year,
$325 the second year, $350 the third year, and so on increasing each year contribution by $25 if you are 17 in the last year of contribution how much will have been saved in all ?

a. Slope of WZ = -2.25; Slope of WX = 5
b. WZ = √97; WX = √41
c. WXYZ is not a <em>rectangle, rhombus, nor a square</em>. We can conclude that: <em>D. WXYZ is none of these</em>.
<h3>Slope of a Segment</h3>Slope = change in y/change in x
Given:
W(-1, 2), X(-5, 7), Y(-1, -2), and Z (3, -7)
a. Slope of WZ and slope of WX:
Slope of WZ = (-7 - 2)/(3 -(-1)) = -2.25
Slope of WX = (7 - 2)/(-1 -(-1)) = 5
b. Use distance formula, , to find WZ and WX:
c. The quadrilateral WXYZ have adjacent sides that are not perpendicular to each other and have different slopes and different lengths, so therefore, WXYZ is not a rectangle, rhombus, nor a square. We can conclude that: <em>D. WXYZ is none of these</em>.
