Question

The coordinates of the vertices of angle XYZ are X(-5,5), Y(-3,-2), and Z(4,0) what is the slope of XZ,YZ,and XY?

Answer 1

Answer-

The slope of XZ,YZ,and XY are  $\dfrac{2}{7},\ \dfrac{2}{7},\ \dfrac{-7}{2}$  respectively.

Solution-

The coordinates of the vertices are as follows,

X = (-5, 5)

Y = (-3, -2)

Z = (4, 0)

Slope of XZ-

$Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$=\dfrac{0-5}{4+5}$

$=\dfrac{-5}{9}$

Slope of YZ-

$Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$=\dfrac{0+2}{4+3}$

$=\dfrac{2}{7}$

Slope of XY-

$Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$=\dfrac{-2-5}{-3+5}$

$=\dfrac{-7}{2}$
