In an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal to each other. So, we know that the third side is either 6 or 15 inches.
If the third side is 6 inches, it would not make a triangle. The sum of any to sides of a triangle must be larger than the third side. However, 6+6 is LESS than 15, so 6 inches would not be the answer.
By process of elimination, the third side is 15 inches. Good luck!
The slope of the red line is 5. The correct answer is option B. 5
Two parallel lines, always have the same slope. Since the green and red line are parallels and the green line has slope 5, the slope of the red line is also 5.
Here's the rule for working with these things:
There are 3 signs associated with a fraction:
=> the sign of the numerator
=> the sign of the denominator
=> the sign of the whole fraction; (if the fraction were in
parentheses, this sign would be written outside).
-- You can change any 2 of them without changing the value of the fraction.
-- Changing any 1 of them changes the effective sign.

Now, you said the fraction is negative.
So, let's start with the positive fraction, and see the different ways
that we could make it a negative fraction:
=> mark only the numerator negative
=> mark only the denominator negative
=> put parentheses around the fraction, and mark it negative outside
If you do any one of these things to a normal positive fraction,
it turns into a negative fraction.
Look at the choices you listed in the question:
-- in the numerator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- in the denominator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- both ? No. That makes it the same as a positive fraction.
-- put parentheses around the fraction, and a negative sign outside ?
Yes. This makes it a negative fraction.
-- it doesn't matter ? No. I hope you can see that it does matter.
Have I confused you ?
Is this more than you wanted to know ?
