look at red segments

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the horizontal segment is taking 3 grids

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u tellme how many grids the vertical segment is taking ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, so the ratio of vertical length to horizontal length is : 2 : 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with a question that goes along with it?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

shoot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, how does the slope of the red triangle compare to the slope of the blue triangle? a. the slope of the blue triangle is twice the slope of the red triangle. b. the slope of the red triangle is steeper than the slope of the blue triangle. c. the slope of the two triangles are the same. d. the slope of the red triangle is half the slope of the blue triangle.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u knw how to calculate slope right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

slope = vertical length / horizontal length

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, slope of red triangle = 2 : 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u find slope of blue triangle ha ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the graph, wats the length of "vertical blue segment" ? wats the length of "horizontal blue segment" ?
