A parallelogram has 4 sides, 2 of them are parallel to each other along with the others.
You can see how far (from the middle of the quadrilateral) is one end of the line and then indicate how far the other end is. If those numbers are equal to the other lines distance then they are parallel
Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving from (-4, -9) to (5, 3), x (the 'run') increases by 9 from -4 to 5, and y (the 'rise') increases by 12 from -9 to +3. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the two points is
m = rise / run = 12/9 = 4/3
It may help to think of the change in x (9) as the horizontal leg of a right triangle and the change in y (12) as the vertical leg. Then
m = (vertical leg length) / (horizontal leg length) = 12/9 = 4/3
