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

Tell whether each function is linear or non-linear.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Function A is non-linear and Function B is linear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

Has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In a linear function, when x changes by 1, y will always changes by the same amount.

Function A:

When x changes by 1, y can change by various amounts. So function A is non-linear.

Function B:

y = -x + 5

In the format of a linear function, so linear
