Answer 1

@bibby @sleepyjess @SolomonZelman

Answer 2

can you tell me the slope of the hypotenuse?

Answer 3

(2,2)...?

Answer 4

@SolomonZelman

Answer 5

that is the what ? the R?

Answer 6

I think so....

Answer 7

I havent learned this yet, so Im kind on confused

Answer 8

this is what they mean that the hypotenuse of the triangle QRS is on the same line.

Answer 9

Ok

Answer 10

I will plot the triangle and the point in desmos give me a sec

Answer 11

Ok

Answer 12

Answer 13

triangle ABC is in red, and point Q is in black.

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

and you know that the hypotenuse of QRS is one half of the hypotenuse is 1/2 of the triangle ABC.

Answer 16

mhm

Answer 17

and the hypotenuse of QRS is on the same line as the segment AB (the hypotenuse of ABC)
there will be (actually) 2 possible answers.

Answer 18

I am going to show you what I mean on the same line with AB if you don't get. I need a sec again

Answer 19

ok !

Answer 20

Answer 21

sorry it is taking me too long to do those

Answer 22

okay, see what I mean by extending the line AB?

Answer 23

nooo, its fine!

Answer 24

yes

Answer 25

yes, the black point is Q, and we know that QR is the half of AB

Answer 26

right

Answer 27

okay, can you give me 1 possible point where R should be (provided that it is on that extended line of AB)

Answer 28

and provided that QR is 1/2 of AB in size.

Answer 29

Answer 30

ok,

Answer 31

can you give me one point where R can be?

Answer 32

yes

Answer 33

why at least one? aren't both the triangles oriented the same way

Answer 34

-2.......?

Answer 35

bibby, it says that QR is on the same line as AB, and gives as the Q, and also tell us that QR is 1/2 of AB in size

Answer 36

I dislike slopes....lol

Answer 37

it gives us Q, and we have half the length of AB, isn't there only one place R can be?

Answer 38

it can be going either right down, and up left, no?

Answer 39

there is no up left. a corresponds to q

Answer 40

as I indicated in my last graph

Answer 41

I'll drop out and let you continue, sorry

Answer 42

who?!

Answer 43

solmon

Answer 44

bibby,
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/sx23ltra3f

Answer 45

the way I see it,
a corresponds to q
r corresponds to b

Answer 46

who said that?

Answer 47

So the answer will be ? V__V

Answer 48

but just go up, anyway they are probably looking for that

Answer 49

"similar and same orientation"

Answer 50

rofl please don't address this anymore, just continue as you were

Answer 51

ABC and QRS
therefore,
A->Q
B->R
C->S

I can see your claim

Answer 52

okay, I said enough..
this: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bil0czt00p
should be enough to figure the answer out

Answer 53

ok

Answer 54

still having trouble understanding?

Answer 55

sorry, but yes
im having diffuculties figuring out the answer

Answer 56

@SolomonZelman

Answer 57

okay, do you understand that R has to be a point somewhere on the dotted line that I labeled? (black point that is there is Q)

Answer 58

Yes

Answer 59

okay, and you know that R is a point that would make a segment (segment RQ, I mean)
a HALF size of AB.

Answer 60

Yes

Answer 61

go ahead an type, never feel you are interrupting me....

Answer 62

ok, and its fine

Answer 63

can you find the point for R on the dotted black line, so that QR will be 1/2 of AB?

Answer 64

4,-7

Answer 65

that would be going down to the right. (and it is debatable to be correct, but you see the idea)

I am posting a new graph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bil0czt00p

find another such point for me please.

Answer 66

0,-1

Answer 67

yes

Answer 68

that is the R.

Answer 69

so, is that the firs part?

Answer 70

that is the point R. that is the second part.

Answer 71

i mean second

Answer 72

now you need to find the slope of the segment AB.

Answer 73

ok, and the 1st part is?

Answer 74

yes, the slope of AB is your part 1

Answer 75

find the slope given your q and r

Answer 76

\(\large\color{black}{ m=\frac{\LARGE y_1-y_2 }{\LARGE x_1-x_2} }\)

Answer 77

I have 2 more min On this question!! :)

Answer 78

sigh

Answer 79

\(\large\color{black}{ m=\frac{\LARGE y_1-y_2 }{\LARGE x_1-x_2} }\)

\(\large\color{black}{ (x_1,y_1) = (2,-4) }\) and \(\large\color{black}{ (x_2,y_2) = (0,-1) }\)

Answer 80

plug it in and give me the slope, it will be quick

Answer 81

so the first part is .. 2,-4 ?

Answer 82

the slope.... (not the point()

Answer 83

again:
\(\large\color{black}{ m=\frac{\LARGE y_1-y_2 }{\LARGE x_1-x_2} }\)

\(\large\color{black}{ (x_1,y_1) = (2,-4) }\) and \(\large\color{black}{ (x_2,y_2) = (0,-1) }\)

So, \(\large\color{black}{ m=\frac{\LARGE -1-(-4) }{\LARGE 2-0} =? }\)

Answer 84

I did it wrong sorry
