Answer 2

are you familiar with the slope formula?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

slope formula
\[\Large m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
hopefully you've seen something like this in your lesson/notes somewhere?

Answer 5

yes
i remeber

Answer 6

so you'll need to find the slope of each line segment

Answer 7

wow all of them?

Answer 8

pretty much yes

Answer 9

nice name

Answer 10

yes all of them. I'll get you started on a few of them

------------------

line segment AB
A = (x1,y1) = (-3,1)
B = (x2,y2) = (-1,3)


slope of AB
\[\Large m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{3-1}{-1-(-3)}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{3-1}{-1+3}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{2}{2}\]
\[\Large m = 1\]
Slope of line segment AB is 1

------------------

line segment BC
B = (x1,y1) = (-1,3)
C = (x2,y2) = (3,3)


slope of BC
\[\Large m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{3-3}{3-(-1)}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{3-3}{3+1}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{0}{4}\]
\[\Large m = 0\]
Slope of line segment BC is 0

------------------

line segment CD
B = (x1,y1) = (3,3)
C = (x2,y2) = (2,0)


slope of CD
\[\Large m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{0-3}{2-3}\]
\[\Large m = \frac{-3}{-1}\]
\[\Large m = 3\]
Slope of line segment CD is 3
