Question

HELP DUE IN 60 MINS!

1. Slope of HE =??


2. Slope of GF =??


3. Slope of HG =??


4. Slope of EF =??

Answer 1

Use coordinates of the vertices and the slope formula.

• H(-3, 0), E(1, 4), F(3, 2), G(-1, -2)

1. Slope of HE:

• m = (4 - 0)/(1 + 3) = 1

2. Slope of GF:

• m = (-2 - 2)/(-1 - 3) = 1

3. Slope of HG:

• m = (-2 - 0)/(-1 + 3) = -1

4. Slope of EF:

• m = (2 - 4)/(3 - 1) = -1
