  • Answer: SLOPE of DC = 2

Thanks for reposting the pertinent question:

Therefore the SLOPE of DC:

DC = 2

  • Step-by-step explanation: Cheers to the person who has explained and answered the question correctly as well.
  • Make a Plan:
  • FORMULA FOR SLOPE OF A LINE:
  • m = rise/run = y1 - y2 / x2 - x1

POINTS: D, C, B, and A are COLLINEAR

  • Now, We can FIND That:

SLOPE of: DC is Equal (=) To the SLOPE of: AB

  • So, Now, The SLOPE of AB:

AB = 2/1 = 2

  • Now, we conclude that:

Therefore the SLOPE of DC:

DC = 2

I hope this helps you!

Answer:

2

Explanation:

You want the slope of segment DC given points A, B, C, D are collinear and the rise between B and A is 2 units, while the run is 1 unit.

Slope of a line

The slope of a line is the same everywhere on the line. It is the same for segment DC as for segment BA on the same line.

slope = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

The slope of DC is 2.
