Question

Simplify the slope of bd

Answer 1

`\boxed{ - 1}`

Explanation:

The co-ordinates of B = ( 0 , a ) ⇒ ( x₁ , y₁ )

The co-ordinates of D = ( a , 0 )⇒( x₂ , y₂ )

Let's find the slope of BD

Slope =
`\mathrm{ = (y2- y1)/(x2 - x1) }`

`\mathrm{ = (0 - a)/(a - 0) }`

`\mathrm{ = ( - a)/(a) }`

`\mathrm{ = - 1}`
