Alec calculated the slope of line AC between points A and B. Avis calculated the slope of line AC between points B and C. Both Alec and Avis drew triangles, as shown below, to calculate the slopes: http://learn.flvs.net/webdav/assessment_images/educator_mjprealgebra_v16/mjprealgebra_segment2_test1_g3_c1.jpg Which statement is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? Both calculated the slope as 3. Both calculated the slope as 1 over 3. Alec calculated the slope as 1 over 3 and Avis calculated it as 3. Alec calculated the slope as 3 and Avis calculated it as1 over 3.

You're image doesnt work for me :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that image is messed up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A graph shows numbers from 0 to 18 on the x axis at increments of 2 and the numbers 0 to 6 on the y axis at increments of 1. A line AC is drawn that joins the ordered pairs 0, 0 and 18, 6.The ordered pair 6, 2 is labeled as B. A right triangle is drawn with AB as hypotenuse and height 2 units. Another right triangle is drawn with BC as the hypotenuse and height 4 units.

there thats a description of the image..

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the slope of big triangle is 4/12 and of small one its 2/6

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what are those fractions both equal to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no 4 / 12 is not 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no 1/3 it this one

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right both = 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
