Olaboraciones alificaciones A trapezoid is shown on the grid below.

Answer 1

We can see in the figure that the base of the trapezoid is the side that is made by the points (4, 1) and (8, 5).

In order to find its slope, we can use the following formula for the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2):

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

So we have that:

`\begin{gathered} m=(5-1)/(8-4) \\ m=(4)/(4) \\ m=1 \end{gathered}`

So the slope of the base is 1, therefore the answer is the first option.
