Question

VT is the diagonal of a rhombus.
What is the slope of the other diagonal?

Answer 1

Answer: c -2/5

Explanation:

it’s the opposite so rise over run with a negative sign

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Remark

The slope of the given segment is found by using the 2 end points.

V(3,2) and T(5,7)

Slope of VT

Givens

• y2 = 7
• y1 = 2
• x2 = 5
• x1 = 3

Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Solution

m = (7 - 2)/(5 -3)

m = 5/2

Slope of other diagonal

m * m1 = - 1

5/2 * m1 = - 1

5m1 = -1*2 = -2

m1 = -2/5

C
