Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the slope is 1/5, we can interpret this as rise/run = 1/5. We could (if we wished to do so) find the hypotenuse by using the Pythagorean Theorem:
hypo = +sqrt( 1^2 + 5^2)
In this case we dilate the triangle defined by the slope 1/5:
2/10, 1/10/(1/2), 10/50, etc., all represent right triangles whose hypotenuses lie on the same line (the line with slope 1/5).
