Answer 3

Use the slope formula, \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\).

Use these points: (2, 4) and (3, 6)

Plug them in:

\(m = \dfrac{6-4}{4-2}\)

\(m = \dfrac{2}{2}\)

Can you divide 2/2? @Chop-GTA5

Answer 4

yeah 1

Answer 5

That's for the smaller Triangle ^^

Answer 6

Yeah, so the slope of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is 1.

Answer 7

Bigger Triangle: (5, 10) and (3, 6)

\(m = \dfrac{10-6}{5-3}\)

\(m = \dfrac{4}{2}\)

Divide that, and you get the slope of the hypotenuse of the bigger triangle.
