The slope formula can be used to prove a triangle has congruent sides a right angle parallel sides congruent angles

OpenStudy (danjs):

hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (danjs):

the slope formula will tell you how 2 lines are oriented in a plane... like..

OpenStudy (danjs):

|dw:1441142567146:dw|

OpenStudy (danjs):

you can orient the two solid lines any way you want...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so...congruent sides?

OpenStudy (danjs):

not sure, if you have only 2 given line, you can have one point of intersection if you have a trianlge...so you cant say how long each line is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a sec @MMAguy told me to tag him

OpenStudy (danjs):

from only 2 lines, you cant tell how long each side is(congruent sides) or what any aother angle is besides the one drawn (congruent angles)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lemme think on this one

OpenStudy (danjs):

by definition, a triangle cant have parallel sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'd say b

OpenStudy (danjs):

you can tell if the angle between the two lines is right though

OpenStudy (danjs):

|dw:1441142834105:dw|

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah i would say B too

OpenStudy (danjs):

if the slope of one line is the negative recipricle of the other lines slope, they are perpendicular, and the triangle will be right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what is it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b or d ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

one answer or choose all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one

OpenStudy (danjs):

go with right angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok,i think b,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok tnx both hey @DanJS give a medal to MMAguy

OpenStudy (danjs):

k, welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol thx
