Question

Find the slope PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

-1/4

1

-1/4

1

Explanation:

Slope is obtained thus :

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope ST :

S(1, 4) ; T(5, 3) ;

x1 = 1, y1 = 4 ; x2 = 5 ; y2 = 3

Slope ST = (3 - 4) / (5 - 1) = - 1 / 4

Slope TU :

T(5, 3) ; U(3, 1)

x1 = 5, y1 = 3 ; x2 = 3 ; y2 = 1

Slope TU = (1 - 3) / (3 - 5) = - 2/ - 2 = 1

Slope UV :

U(3, 1) ; V(-1, 2)

x1 = 3, y1 = 1 ; x2 = - 1 ; y2 = 2

Slope UV = (2 - 1) / (-1 - 3) = 1 /-4 = - 1/4

Slope SV:

S(1, 4) ; V(-1, 2)

x1 = 1, y1 = 4 ; x2 = - 1, y2 = 2

Slope SV = (2 - 4) / (-1 - 1) = - 2 / - 2 = 1
