Question

Graphically determine the slopes of the line segments that create triangle ACD shown below. Write your final slopes in simplest form.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

Coordinates of points A, C and D are,

A(-2, -7), C(-6, 7) and D(9, 2)

Slope of AD = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

                    = $\frac{-7-2}{-2-9}$

                    = $\frac{9}{11}$

Slope of CD = $\frac{7-2}{-6-9}$

                     = $-\frac{1}{3}$

Slope of AC = $\frac{7-(-7)}{-6-(-2)}$

                    = $-\frac{14}{4}$

                    = $-\frac{7}{2}$
