The absolute value is the value of the number without the sign. So in this case it's 3 and -3

2/3 = x/9
cross multiply and divide to find x. 9*2=18.......18/3=6. He would need 6 pints of red paint
L(1, -4)=(xL, yL)→xL=1, yL=-4
M(3, -2)=(xM, yM)→xM=3, yM=-2
Slope of side LM: m LM = (yM-yL) / (xM-xL)
m LM = ( -2 - (-4) ) / (3-1)
m LM = ( -2+4) / (2)
m LM = (2) / (2)
m LM = 1
The quadrilateral is the rectangle KLMN
The oposite sides are: LM with NK, and KL with NK
In a rectangle the opposite sides are parallel, and parallel lines have the same slope, then:
Slope of side LM = m LM = 1 = m NK = Slope of side NK
Slope of side NK = m NK = 1
Slope of side KL = m KL = m MN = Slope of side MN
The sides KL and LM (consecutive sides) are perpendicular (form an angle of 90°), then the product of their slopes is equal to -1:
(m KL) (m LM) = -1
Replacing m LM = 1
(m KL) (1) = -1
m KL = -1 = m MN
Answer:
Slope of side LM =1
Slope of side NK =1
Slope of side KL = -1
Slope of side MN = -1
