If we have two points;
A(x₁,y₁)
B(x₂,y₂)
m=slope
m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)
Therefore:
(6,7)
(9,2)
m=(2-7) / (9-6)=-5/3.
Solution₁= the solpe of the line that passes through the poitns (6,7) and (9,2) is m=-5/3.
(17,9)
(5,29)
m=(29-9) / (5-17)=20/-12=-5/3
Solution ₂: the slope of the line that passes through the parir of points (17,9) and (5,29) is m=-5/3
Therefore, both lines have the same slope.
You would have to know the height of the 8th graders
the distance formula to find the length of the sides... opposite sides equal it could be a rectangle or parallelogram all sides equal, square or rhombus adjacent equal, kite and then the slope is used to check angles if the product of the 2 lines in -1 the lines are perpendicular (right angle) the the slopes of 2 lines are the same the sides are parallel.
I think this is it ^_^
X will equal 10 and y will equal 7
