Question

Points D, C, B, and A are collinear.What is the slope of DC in simplest form?2.A5BCSlope of DC =[?]=YD

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: To calculate the slope we can use the following formula

`\text{slope}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}`

Also, we can see that even DC has a larger length than BA the slope of the line does not change which means the slope for BA is the same for DC.

Once we know that, we have

`\begin{gathered} \text{slopeAB}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \\ \text{slopeAB}=(5)/(2) \\ \text{slopeAB}=slopeDC=(5)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Final answer: So the final answer is

`\text{Slope of DC= }(5)/(2)`
