What is the slope of the hypotenuses of the triangles in simplest form https://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1503500_1504000/1503533/1/a240b0c23767b51db95e417cc38a4a5bfff986a5/MS_IMC-140523-130902.jpg

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

use slope formula (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

(2-4)/(5-10)=(-2)/(-5)=2/5

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

the slope of their hypotenuses is 2/5

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

the slope formula is \[\frac{ y_1-y_2 }{ x_1-x_2 }\]

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

substitute the coordinates of points and solve
