someone please this has to be done before 5:00 in order to pass 1st quarter

OpenStudy (study312):

I haven't done this before so sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well its already 5 ..going to have another bad grade in math but its alright at least you looked and tried @Study312

OpenStudy (study312):

Wanna check this out @calculusxy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well next time you can do it now close the question since youre moping

OpenStudy (study312):

hold on

OpenStudy (study312):

He says he is busy but will check it out when he has time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Study312 alright thanks but i already guessed and i cant do it again so next time?

OpenStudy (study312):

ok

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

slope is calculated by \[\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\] we also know that the hypotenuse of a triangle is the longest side of the figure. therefore, we have several points of the hypotenuse, but we can use two for this case (doesn't matter which ones you choose) i will choose (2,4) and (3,6) and plug the values to the respective areas in the formula \[\frac{ 6-4 }{ 3-2 } = \frac{ 2 }{ 1 } = 2\] our slope therefore is 2

OpenStudy (study312):

Thx for coming

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks ill write it down just in case i stumble across another question similar to this one @calculusxy

OpenStudy (calculusxy):
