Answer 1

Slope formula: m = $\frac{(y2 - y1)}{(x2 - x1)}$

Slope of segment BC:

First, we substitute B (5, 2) for (x₁, y₁) and C (11, -6) for (x₂, y₂)

m BC = $\frac{(-6 - 2)}{(11 - 5)}$ = $\frac{-8}{6} = -\frac{4}{3}$

Slope of BC = A. $-\frac{4}{3}$

Slope of segment AB:

We substitute A (-3, -4) for (x₁, y₁) and B (5, 2) for (x₂, y₂)

m AB = $\frac{(2 - (-4))}{(5 - (-3))} = \frac{(2 + 4)}{(5 + 3)} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

Slope of AB = C. $\frac{3}{4}$
