Question

Can someone find the slope of CE and slope of diagonal FD please

Answer 1

Therefore,

`Slope(CE)=(2)/(3)\\\\Slope(FD)=(-3)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given:

Let,

C(0,0)

E(9,6)

D(8,1)

F(4,7)

To Find:

Slope CE = ?

Slope FD = ?

Solution:

We know If two Points are given then the slope is given as

`Slope=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

Substituting the values we get

`Slope(CE)=(6-0)/(9-0)\\\\Slope(CE)=(2)/(3)`

Similarly,

`Slope(FD)=(1-7)/(8-4)\\\\Slope(FD)=(-6)/(4)=(-3)/(2)`

Therefore,

`Slope(CE)=(2)/(3)\\\\Slope(FD)=(-3)/(2)`
