Answer 1

Take two points: \(x_1(6,2)\) and \(x_2(18,6)\). Slope will be \(m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\). I am sure you can do it

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

this is hard as hell

Answer 4

:) You can do it. How about \(slope=\frac{rise}{run}\)

Answer 5

When y rises 4 (from 2 to 6), x runs 12 (from 6 to 18). Therefore, the slope would be...

Answer 6

4/12

Answer 7

right

Answer 8

Exactly. Good job

Answer 9

here is another one

Answer 10

Two right triangles with the following dimensions are graphed with their hypotenuses on the same line:

triangle X:
horizontal leg measures 4 units
vertical leg measures 5 units

triangle Y:
horizontal leg measures 6 units
vertical leg measures 7.5 units

Which other triangles could also have their hypotenuse on the same line?

Choose all answers that are correct.

A.
Horizontal leg measures 8 units, vertical leg measures 10 units

B.
Horizontal leg measures 3 units, vertical leg measures 3.75 units

C.
Horizontal leg measures 10 units, vertical leg measures 12 units

D.
Horizontal leg measures 12 units, vertical leg measures 15 units

Answer 11

The slope, in this case, will be \(\frac{vertical}{horizontal}\). In both example, the slope is \(\frac{5}{4}=\frac{7.5}{6}=\frac{5}{4}\). So to find other triangles, you should find the ones that have the ratio between vertical leg and horizontal leg of 5:4.

Answer 12

a c and d right

Answer 13

A and D are correct. B is also correct because 3.75:3 = 5:4. However, C is 12:10 = 6:5.

Answer 14

Triangle DEF is similar to triangle FGH. Both are right triangles.

Which statements about the two triangles must be true?

Choose all answers that are correct.



A.
Sides DF and FH are congruent.

B.
Triangle DEF is congruent to triangle FGH.

C.
Side DF has the same slope as side FH.

D.
Sides DE and FE are proportional to sides FG and HG.

Answer 16

What do you think first? I would say C and D.

Answer 17

is it a c d

Answer 18

For A, I think they are similar.

Answer 19

But not congruent.

Answer 20

Which two triangles are similar?



A.
A and B

B.
B and C

C.
C and D

D.
A and C

Answer 22

What do you think?

Answer 23

c

Answer 24

Right.

Answer 25

i got 60 and i need 80 to pass
