Question

Draw two examples of different right triangles that could lie on s line with a slope of 2/5

Answer 1

Both right triangles are attached.

To find both similar triangles with a slope of 2/5, we have to remember that slope is related with the tangent of the angle of direction of the line.

So, in each graph, we have angle A, which has the relation:

`tanA=m`; where
`m` is the slope.

Now, we know by trigonometric reasons that:

`tanA=(opposite \ leg)/(adjacent \ leg)=(2)/(5)=(4)/(10)`

Where the proportion between triangles is 2.
