What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, 4) and (4, −1)?

1 answer:

3 0

Note:
The slope of a straight line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
$m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

The two given points are (-3,4) and (4,-1). Therefore the slope is
$m= \frac{-1-4}{4-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{7}$

Answer: $- \frac{5}{7}$

Answer:

$\dfrac{\overline{RS}}{\overline{VU}}=\dfrac{\overline{ST}}{\overline{UT}}\quad\text{and}\quad\angle S\cong\angle U$

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the SAS similarity theorem, you must show proportionality between corresponding sides, and congruence of the angle between them.

The answer shown above is the only answer choice that mentions an angle.

Comment on other choices

Choice B shows the three sides are proportional, so would be useful if the SSS similarity theorem were to be invoked. It isn't helpful for the using the SAS similarity theorem.

Choices C and D get the proportion statements wrong.
