Answer:  The answer is -\dfrac{1}{4}.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that WXZY is a quadrilateral with W located at (-5, 2) and X is located at (3, 0). We need to find the slope of ZY for which the quadrilateral WXZY is a parallelogram.

We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other. So, in the attached figure, we must have WX parallel to ZY. And for that, slope of WX = slope of ZY.

Slope of WX is given by

m=\dfrac{0-2}{3-(-5)}=\dfrac{-2}{8}=-\dfrac{1}{4}.

Thus, the slope of ZY must be -\dfrac{1}{2}.

Multiple choice!! There's only one correct answer.
GalinKa [24]

The solution is where the red line crosses the blue line, which on the X axis is between the 1 and the 2, so about 1.5.

Convert the fractions to decimal and see which one is  close to 1.5:

13/8 = 1.625

25/16 = 1.5625

7/4 = 1.75

27/16 = 1.6875

The closest one to 1.5 is 25/16

What is the equation of a line with a slope of ​ ​ −4−4 ​ ​ and a point ​ (−2,5) ​
Darya [45]
Here, we can formulate the slope-intercept equation from the point and the slope:

Slope = -4/-4 = 1
x1 = -2
y1 = 5

By point-slope form:

(y-y1)  = m (x - x1)
(y-5) = 1(x +2)

y-5 = x +2

Simplifying to slope-intercept form:

y = x + 7

Therefore, the slope-intercept form would be y = x+7

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
