1. Write a ratio in simplified form of the vertical length to the horizontal length for the red triangle? (image below) a. 2:3 b. 3:2 c. 1:1 d. none of the above. 2. 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 slopes of the two triangles are the same. d. The slope of the red triangle is half of the slope of the blue triangle. 3. Would a triangle with-more below please wait

3.continued: a vertical length of 6 and a horizontal length of 10 have the same slope as the blue and red triangles shown in the graph? a. Yes, the slopes would be the same b. No, the slope of the new triangle would be 2:4 c. No, the slope of the new triangle would be 2:5 d. No, the slope of the new triangle would be 3:5 graph below.

@Clueless_math help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would help if i was good at this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, well thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to find a ratio?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that if you have 10 stickers and 3 are pink it would be 3:10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so what is the height of the red triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, so the first half of the ratio is 2 all you need to do now, is fill in the width for the second half.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 3, so 2:3 for 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, for number two now. What is the slope for the red triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is slope the 2:3? Or something different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the slope in ratio form, written as a slope it would appear as a fraction 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, now what is the slope for the blue triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, can you reduce that to the simplest form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 2 would be c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay now three.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would be the slope of that triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6/10 and that would reduce to 3/5..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thank you so much
