Question

Triangle RST has vertices located at R (2,3), S (4,4), and T (5,0).

Answer 1

The slope of RS, RT, and ST are 1/2, -1 and -4 respectively

Triangle and slopes

Given the folllowing coordinates R (2,3), S (4,4), and T (5,0) os triangle RST

The formula for calculating the distance is expressed as:

• D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For length RS:

D = √(4-3)²+(4-2)²

RS = √1+4
RS= √5

For length RS:

RT = √(0-3)²+(5-2)²

RT = √9+9
RT= 3√2

For length ST:

D = √(0-4)²+(5-4)²

ST = √16+1
ST= √17

Since all the sides are different, the triangle is a scalene triangle.

For the slope of the sides

For the side RS;

Slope = 4-3/4-2

Slope of RS = 1/2

For the side RT:

Slope = 0-3/5-2

Slope of RT = -3/3 = -1

For the side ST

Slope of ST = 0-4/5-4
Slope of ST = -4/1 = -4

Hence the slope of RS, RT, and ST are 1/2, -1 and -4 respectively
