Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle FDE, and both triangles have the same orientation, as shown. What is the slope of DF, which is also the slope of AC

Respuesta :

From the calculations below, we see that the slopes of DF and AC are; 2

How to find the slope of the triangle?

We know that the formula that is used to find the slope of two coordinates on a straight line is given by;

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Now, from the attached image showing both congruent triangles, we can see that the coordinate points are;

Point A(1, 1)

Point C(3,5)

Point D(-2,-4)

Point F(0,0)

1) Let us find the slope FD by applying the slope formula above to get;

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (0 + 4)/(0 + 2)

m = 4/2

m = 2

2) Let us find the slope AC by applying the slope formula above to get;

find the slope AC

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (5 - 1)/(3 - 1)

m = 4/2

m = 2

Thus;

m_AC = m_FD

Therefore we conclude that the slope FD is also 2
