A right scalene triangle is located in Quadrant 1 with endpoints at

( 2 , 3 ), ( 2 , 15 ) and ( 8 , 3 ).

The slope of the hypotenuse connecting point

( 2 , 15) and point ( 8 , 3 ) is m = -2.

If the triangle is reflected over both the x-axis and y-axis,

what would be the slope of the corresponding line in the image?

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus

good luck on ur quiz test or homework. have a good day : )

answer is  

a.

5.56

hope you get this right.
