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

How do you solve this

2x^2 + 14x = -12

Step 1: Subtract -12 from both sides.

2x^2 + 14x - (-12) = -12 - (-12)

2x^2 + 14x + 12 = 0

Step 2: Factor the left side of the equation.

2(x + 1)(x + 6) = 0

Step 3: Set Factors equal to 0.

x + 1 = 0 or x + 6 = 0

x = -1 or x = -6

Answer:
x = -1 or x = -6

Hope this helps. : )

Fourteen seniors were asked how many minutes they spent on doing their homework the previous night. The data is displayed below.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the median of:-

73 75 87 65 69 62 81 64 68 101 74 71 89 87

First, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order as below:-

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101

Since there are a total of 14 numbers, let's split it up into two halves (each of seven numbers)

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73           |||             74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101

The median would be the mean of the two middle numbers i.e. the mean of 73 and 74

Median = \frac{73+74}{2}

= \frac{147}{2}

= 73.5

So, about half of the students spent less than 73.5 minutes doing homework and about half spent more than 73.5 minutes on homework
