Question

What is the slope of the hypotenuses of the triangles in simplest form?

Answer 1

You can pick any two points on a line to find the slope of that line.

Let's choose (3, 1) and (6,2)

The slope formula is $slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plugging in our points we get the slope as

$Slope = \frac{2 - 1}{6 - 2} = \boxed{\bf{\frac{1}{3}}}$

The slope of the hypotenuses are 1/3.
