Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points. (–5.5, 6.1), (–2.5, 3.1)

Use the slope formula to find the slope  m .

m =  − 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is  

m

=

−

1

Explanation:

The slope can be found by using the formula:  

m

=

y

2

Where  

m

is the slope and (

x

,

y

) and (

x

2

,

y

) are the two points on the line.

Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:

m

=

3.1

5.5

=  3.1  −  6.1  −  2.5  +  5.5 =  − 3/ 3 =  − 1

,(6.1-3.1)/(-5.5-2.5) = 3/-8 = -3/8=-.375

ANSWER

The slope is

EXPLANATION

The slope of the line that passes through,

can be found using the formula,

So we let,

and

We substitute them into the formula to get,

This gives us,

We simplify to get,

slope = -1

it should be a and d. lmk if i'm wrong xd

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
