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

Consider the expression 35.86 divided by 2.2 .
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

  • a = 100, b = 100
  • 16.3

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Part A</h3>
  • a = 100 will convert the number on the numerator to whole number
  • b = 10 will convert the number on the denominator to whole number

But we need a = b in order not to change the value of the fraction, therefore we choose

  • a = b = 100
<h3>Part B</h3>

Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 100 will make the fraction:

  • 35.86*100/2.2*100 =
  • 3586/220 =
  • 16 66/220 =
  • 16 3/10
  • 16.3

x = 375 and y = 6300. Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data we need to find the value of x and y.

First, we will find out the ratio of area and the force.

\frac{Area}{Force}  = \frac{125}{1875} =\frac{150}{2250} =\frac{175}{2625} = \frac{1}{15}

So,

\frac{x}{5625} = \frac{1}{15}

or, x = \frac{5625}{15} = 375

Again,

\frac{420}{y} = \frac{1}{15}

or, y = 420×15 = 6300

Hence,

x = 375 and y = 6300.

I have this for my math review &amp; i just don't seem to get it...<br>what is (.9x+.8y)^2
elena55 [62]
Can you take the quantity [ x + y ] and square it ?

Can you take the quantity  [ x + 2y ] and square it ?

Then you should have no trouble with the square of (.9x + .8y) .

The square of any binomial (expression with 2 terms) is

(square of the first term)
+ (square of the second term)
+ 2 times (product of the terms) .

A bakery can make 60 donuts in 15 donutes. What is the unit rate at which the bakery makes donuts.
maria [59]

Answer:

4 donuts per minute/(donutes is that a typo?)

Step-by-step explanation:

if a bakery can make 60 donuts in 15 minutes, that is 60 donuts/15 minutes.

to reduce this fraction, the top and bottom can be divided by 15 to get 4 donuts/1 minute.
