Triangle ABC is a right triangle. Point D is the midpoint of side AB and point E is the midpoint of side AC. The measure of angl
e ADE is 36°. The proof, with a missing reason, proves that the measure of angle ECB is 54°. Statement Reason m∠ADE = 36° Given m∠DAE = 90° Definition of a right angle m∠AED = 54° Triangle Sum Theorem segment DE joins the midpoints of segment AB and segment AC Given segment DE is parallel to segment BC ? ∠ECB ≅ ∠AED Corresponding angles are congruent m∠ECB = 54° Substitution property Which theorem can be used to fill in the missing reason?

Answer:
A. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is rise over run, or y2-y1 / x2-x1.
<u>The slope is A. -4.</u>
Let's see--does that make sense? A slope of four would be pretty steep, and that matches the graph. It also should be negative because the line goes down and to the right, not up and to the right, so -4 makes sense!
