Please help: 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 (anonymous):

Are we to find the length of both hypotenuses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, this asks for slope. I'm not good at slope. :(

OpenStudy (timinthor):

No, the slope of the hypotenus

OpenStudy (timinthor):

Isnt slope \[X1 - X2/Y1-Y2\]

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

other way around (the y's are in the numerator and the x's are in the denominator)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

OpenStudy (timinthor):

Im confused because if that is the case how would you do it because there are 3 coordinates

OpenStudy (timinthor):

Like how would you do that with all 3 cooridinates

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

take any two points and solve for slope. that's it.

OpenStudy (timinthor):

so is it -5/-2 ? @princeharryyy and @TheInspector

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

2/5

OpenStudy (timinthor):

Could i be any further off XD how did you get 2/5?

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

(4-2)/(10-5)

OpenStudy (timinthor):

ohh i just did it wrong lol, thank you @princeharryyy

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

:D pellet happens.

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
