Rectangle EFGH is graphed on a coordinate plane with vertices at E(-3,5), F(6,2), G(4,-4),and H (-5,-1).

Question

Find the slopes of each side.
What do you notice about the slopes of opposite sides?
What do you notice about the slopes of adjacent sides?

Answer 1

sketch graph. Looks like a parallelogram but hang on.
Might even be a rectangle:)

Answer 2

i don't understand

Answer 3

HE = (5+1)/(-3+5) = 3
GF = ((2+4)/(6-4) = 3

LOL, sketch wins, they are parallel
NOW top and bottom

FE = (5-2)/(-3-6) = 3/-9 = -1/3
GH = (-1+4)/(-5 -4) =3/-9 =-1/3

caramba! paralleogram

Answer 4

Get it now? Opposite sides have the same slope.
GRAPH it carefully. I saw it on my quick sketch before I calculated slopes

Answer 5

NOW if m = -1/m'
Then it the lines are
PERPENDICULR
and they ARE -1/3 and 3
so it is not only a parallelogram but a RECTANGLE

Answer 6

thank you

Answer 7

You are welcome :) That was fun !

Answer 8

Hahz

Answer 9

i'm so confused.. lol
is the answer to what do you notice about the slopes of opposite sides the same as the answer to what do you notice about the slopes of the adjacent sides?

Answer 10

I don't get it... at all. Driving boats is also hard. Oh! I gotta feed Gary!

Answer 11

Hi, I'm Dory.

Answer 12

awser is b negitve slobe aka k=-b

Answer 13

What are adjacent sides?

Answer 14

Play fortnite this is trash and bad for you so get off and play some videogames math will get you knowhere
DONT LISTEN TO UR PARENTS

Answer 15

Find the slopes of each side.
this makes no sense why am i here,math sux anway bye kids and also dont forget to keep grinding fortnite and that pole

Answer 16

HE = (5+1)/(-3+5) = 3
GF = ((2+4)/(6-4) = 3
