Question

What is each of the slopes for all the four sides?

A=(-3,1).
B=(-2,-2)
C=(2,-3)
D=(0,3).

Answer 1

The slope of four sides are as given, AB ⇒-3, BC⇒
`(-1)/(4)`, CD⇒-3, DA⇒
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given,

A = (-3,1)

B = (-2,-2)

C = (2,3)

D = (0,3)

Formula

The value of slope(m) of two given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

m=
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

• The slope of AB is =
  `(-2-1)/(-2-(-3))` =
  `(-3)/(1)` = -3

• The slope of BC is =
  `(-3-(-2))/(2-(-2))` =
  `(-1)/(4)`

• The slope of CD is =
  `(3-(-3))/(0-2)` =
  `(6)/(-2)` = -3

• The slope of DA is =
  `(1-3)/(-3-0)` =
  `(-2)/(-3)` =
  `(2)/(3)`

[For finding the slope of AB we take, B as (x2,y2) and A as (x1, y1)

These same this follow for every sides]
