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

pashok25 [27]
Given a sequence; a₁,a₂,a₃...,an,
The common difference is d= a₂-a₁=a₃-a₂=a₄-a₃....

In this case: 
a₁=1.05
a₂=1.1

d=a₂-a₁=(1.1)-(1.05)=0.05

Answer: The common difference is 0.05.

Giving the following information:

Purchase cost= $400

Mar-up percentage= 90%

<u>First, we need to calculate the "normal" selling price:</u>

Selling price= 400*1.9= $760

<u>Now, we can determine the anniversary sale price:</u>

Anniversary sale price= 760 - (760*0.25)= $570
