<em><u>The slope of HI is 1/2 </u></em>
<em><u> The slope of EF is 1/2</u></em>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Triangle DEF is congruent to right triangle GHI
Which means,
These pairs of angles are congruent
{D, G}, {E, H}, and {F, I}
In triangle DEF, E is a right angle
This means that the line segments are perpendicular.
We know that,
Product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to that line is equal to -1
Given that,
Slope of DE = -2
Since the sides EF and HI are congruent,
Slopes of parallel lines are equal
Thus, Slope of HI is 1/2
