Question

HELP!!!

Answer 1

Liam calculated the slope of line AC between points A and B. Olivia calculated the slope of line AC between points B and C. Both Liam and Olivia drew triangles, as shown below, to calculate the slopes:

A graph shows numbers from 0 to 27 on the x axis at increments of 3 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 27, 6.The ordered pair 9, 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.

Which statement is correct about the slopes calculated by Liam and Olivia if both calculated the slopes accurately?

Liam calculated the slope as 2 over 9 and Olivia calculated it as9 over 2.

Liam calculated the slope as 9 over 2 and Olivia calculated it as2 over 9.

Both calculated the slope as 2 over 9.

Both calculated the slope as 9 over 2.

Answer 3

"if both calculated the slopes correctly"
ha so that entire paragraph was fluff :P

just find the slope of the line ^_^
Slope = (rise) over (run) = (how much up) over (how much to the right) = ?

Answer 4

but the slope for the first one is 2/3

Answer 5

and the second one is 4/6

Answer 6

ah, don't count the boxes! look at the numbers at the bottom :)

Answer 7

so 2/9and 9/27

Answer 8

and if both were correct, then both should have gotten the same answer :)

Answer 9

i don't get what the answer would be

Answer 10

"both"
and one of the numbers you got

Answer 11

so both are over 2/9

Answer 12

yes :)

Answer 13

oh ok thank you for all your help :)
