What is Slope of BE / Slope of AE in simplest form? a. 4 b. 5 / 4 c. 25 / 4 d. 5

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

@confluxepic

OpenStudy (vanessaperezxo):

i think the answer is d

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

@ayyookyndall We should first find the slopes.

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

For BE and AD? BE = 5/1 AD = 5/4 @confluxepic

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Exactly.

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

So what do we do now? @confluxepic

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

AE is not 4/5 its 5/4

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

One of your comments said it was AE and the other comment said it was AD. http://prntscr.com/5uw1vi http://prntscr.com/5uw2gk

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

And yes. It is 5/4.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\[\frac{ BE }{ AE }=\frac{ 5 }{ 5/4 }\]

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

So the answer is 4...

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Just divide 5 by 1.25 and you get a simple answer.

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

I got it ! Thank you ! :)
