What is the simplest form of AD/AB? 10/3 1/3 17/5 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ad=9 and AB=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MayankD Oh goodness now I feel blonde , I thought AB was 2 . ;/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Happens to the best!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me determine the slope of BE and AE ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope of BE is 5 and AE is 5/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the question is asking for the simplest form of that .. can you explain how to do that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope of a line is equal to tan(theta) where theta is the angle formed by the line with the positive x-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that slope is rise over run , I just don't understand how to put 5 over 5/4 into a simpler form .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You cant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When the numerator and denominator are co prime then that is considered to be the simplest form. Co prime means that they have no common divisor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But 5 over 5/4 isn't an answer choice ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is , 5/4 is , 25/4 is , and 5 is .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pretty sure i'm right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude its 5/4 for AE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And 5 for BE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know thats what im thinking so this don't make sense does it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What doesn't make sense? what are the exact options and what is the exact question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is slope of BE / slope of AE in simplest form . A. 4 B. 5/4 C. 25/4 D. 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MayankD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 over 5/4 is 4 my dear!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MayankD alright thank you .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was that right
