Sagot :

A rectangle consists of two pairs of parallel segments such that two of them (which are parallel to each other) are perpendicular to the remaining two segments.

Then, in our case, the slope of two of the sides of the rectangle is 2/3, those two sides are opposite to each other (a rectangle is a parallelogram); therefore,

What is the slope of the opposite side? The answer is 2/3

On the other hand, the two remaining sides have to be perpendicular to the side whose slope is equal to 2/3. The slope of two perpendicular lines has the next property

[tex]m_1\cdot m_2=-1[/tex]

Then,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}\cdot m_2=-1 \\ \Rightarrow m_2=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus,

What are the slopes of the two remaining sides? The answer is -3/2
