The slope of AB is 2. 
Segmet AB is perpendicular to segment BC, and the slope of the perpendicular line  (segment AB) is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original or reference line (segment BC). The negative reciprocal of -1/2 is 2. Hope this helps.

we have that

ABC is a right triangle

so

AB is perpendicular to BC

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

so

m1*m2=-1

in this problem

mAB*mBC=-1

solve for mAB

mAB=-\frac{1}{mBC} \\ \\ mAB=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\ mAB=2

therefore

the answer is

the slope of AB is equal to 2

Answer:

  x = 10 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of corresponding sides are the same, so we have ...

  x/8 = 8/6

  x = 8·(8/6) = 64/6

  x = 10 2/3

Suppose it takes 2 1/2 h to drive from your house to the lake at 48 mi/h. How long will your return trip take at 40 mi/h?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer

The distance from the house to the lake is (2.5 hr)*(48 mi/hr) = 120 miles. The rerurn trip would take (120 mi)/(40 mi/hr) = 3 hours. Distance equals rate times time, so the distance to the lake is 2 1/2 hours times 48 miles per hour.

I hope this helps
