1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the slope of ZWZW and the slope of YXYX. We are given a quadrilateral WXYZWXYZ on a coordinate plane. We need to extract the coordinates of the points ZZ, WW, YY, and XX from the graph and use them to calculate the slopes of segments ZWZW and YXYX.

2. Solution Steps

First, identify the coordinates of the vertices ZZ, WW, YY, and XX from the graph:
Z=(6,8)Z = (-6, 8)
W=(6,8)W = (6, 8)
Y=(3,3)Y = (-3, -3)
X=(3,3)X = (3, -3)
Next, calculate the slope of ZWZW using the formula:
m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
mZW=886(6)=012=0m_{ZW} = \frac{8 - 8}{6 - (-6)} = \frac{0}{12} = 0
Then, calculate the slope of YXYX using the same formula:
mYX=3(3)3(3)=06=0m_{YX} = \frac{-3 - (-3)}{3 - (-3)} = \frac{0}{6} = 0

3. Final Answer

Slope of ZWZW: 0
Slope of YXYX: 0
