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
Answer: 11 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of months that it will take him to reach his goal be represented by x.
Based on the information given in the question, this can be formed into an equation as:
8 + 4x = 52
4x = 52 - 8
4x = 44
x = 44/4
x = 11
It will take 11 months to reach the goal
