Question

What is the slope of the hypotenuses of the triangles in simplest form?

Answer 1

You can pick any two points on a line to find the slope of that line.

Let's choose (3, 1) and (6,2)

The slope formula is
`slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Plugging in our points we get the slope as


`Slope = (2 - 1)/(6 - 2) = \boxed{\bf{(1)/(3)}}`

The slope of the hypotenuses are 1/3.
