Question

So today I was introduced to slope its actually easy but im stuck. May you please help me

Answer 1

1) We know that the two triangles are similar because the ratio of the corresponding sides are the same:

For triangle XYZ:

`(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)`

For triangle RST:

`(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)`

2) XY is 6 units long.

4) The slope is:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(6)=(1)/(2) \\ We\text{ know this because the slope is the :} \\ \frac{\text{vertical change dimension}}{horizontal\text{ change dimension}} \end{gathered}`
