Question

State the slope of each side and each altitude of triangle ABC when A(2, 1), B(3, 5), and C(7, 2) are the vertices. (Enter answers as fractions.)

Slope of AB = Slope of altitude AB =

Slope of BC = Slope of altitude BC =

Slope of AC = Slope of altitude AC =

Answer 1

do you know the slope formula?
i think we've done similar problems in the past.... ?

Answer 2

yeah the one that starts like this?.. x1-y1

Answer 3

almost like that... :) lemme post it up again..

Answer 4

ok :)

Answer 5

\[\large m= \frac {y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the endpoints of the segment.

Answer 6

now can u do it?
i can verify your answers if u wish.... :)

Answer 7

yes!

Answer 8

go for it... :)

Answer 9

AB =
BC =
AC =

Answer 10

ab= 2 right?

Answer 11

3/4 = bc

Answer 12

-5= ac

Answer 13

slope for AB is wrong... :(

Answer 14

im i doing it wrong?

Answer 15

let's do slope of AB...
