We are given sides of the triangle by expression
First side : n
Second side : m = 5n-5.
Third side : l = 5/4 m - n.
Perimeter is 90.
Therefore, first equation could be set :
n +m +l = 90 --------------equation(1)
Second equation would be
m = 5n-5 --------------equation(2)
Third equation would be
l = 5/4 m - n --------------equation(3)
Let us solve the system of equations by substitution.
Substituting m = 5n-5 and l = 5/4 m - n in first equation.
We get
n +5n-5 +5/4 m - n= 90
Now, substituting m = 5n-5 in above equation we get
n +5n-5 +5/4 (5n-5) - n= 90
5n + 25n/4 -5 - 25/4 =90
5n + 6.25n -5-6.25 = 90.
11.25n-11.25 = 90
Adding 11.25 on both sides, we get
11.25n-11.25+11.25 = 90+11.25
11.25n = 101.25.
Dividing both sides by 11.25, we get
n=9.
Plugging n=9 in 2nd equation.
m = 5(9)-5 = 45 -5 = 40.
Plugging n=9 and m=40 in first equation, we get
9 +40 +l = 90
49 +l = 90.
Subtracting 49 from both sides, we get
49-49 +l = 90-49
l = 41.
Therefore, sides are of lengths l = 41, m= 40 and n=9.
we are given two points as
(2,4) and (-2,-4)
Let's assume
first point as (x1,y1)=(2,4)
so, x1=2 and y1=4
Second point as (x2,y2)=(-2,-4)
so, x2=-2 and y2=-4
now, we can use slope formula
now, we can plug values
now, we can simplify it
so, slope is 2 ..................Answer
