Question

I need help on this math problem.

Answer 1

B: (0, a)

C should have the same y value as B

D: (a,0)

C should have the same x value as D

So point C is (a,a)

Since point A is on the origin, its point is (0,0)

You use the slope formula and plug in point A and C:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m=\frac{a-0}{a-0}$

$m=\frac{a}{a}$

m = 1

So the value that belongs in the green box is 1
