Question

Write a fraction setting the vertical length of the larger triangle over its horizontal length. What does this fraction represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

• See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical length of the larger triangle is:

• 0 - (-4) = 4

Horizontal length of the larger triangle is:

• 0 - (-6) = 6

The fraction:

• 4/6 = 2/3

This fraction represents the slope of the hypotenuse (or the red line)

Answer 2

• Vertical length =y co-ordinates distance
• Horizontal length=x co-ordinates distance

Horizontal length:-.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto |0-6|=|-6|=6units$

Vertical length:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto |0-4|=|-4|=4units$

Fraction:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{2}{3}$
