Question

What is slope of BE/ slope of AE in simplest form?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 25/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to calculate the slope you jus have to use the nect formula:

$slope=\frac{y^{2}- y^{1} }{x^{2} -x^{1} }$

So you just firs pick your two points on each segment, to make it easier we would select in both segments the inital and final point:

BE= (3,0)(4,5)

AE=(0,0)(4,5)

So to calculate the slope of BE we just put the values into the formula:

$slope=\frac{y^{2}- y^{1} }{x^{2} -x^{1} }$

$slope=\frac{5-0}{4-3}$

$slope=\frac{5}{1}$

$slope=5$

So to calculate the slope of AE we just put the values into the formula:

$slope=\frac{y^{2}- y^{1} }{x^{2} -x^{1} }$

$slope=\frac{5-0}{4-0}$

$slope=\frac{5}{4}$

So now that you have both slope you just make the division:

$\frac{slopeBE}{slopeAE}$

$\frac{5}{\frac{4}{5}}$

$\frac{25}{4}$

So the answer to the problem would be $\frac{25}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Basically, you calculate your ratio and find what its is, but after that, you have to simplify it, giving you 4.
