Find the slope of each segment. a. m __/AB b. m__/BC c. m__/AC (use description to answer)

Question

A (3, 5), B (-2, 6) and C (0, 16) are the vertices of a triangle.

Answer 1

The slope of a line segment given the coordinates of its endpoints (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Use this formula to compute the slope between each pair of endpoints.
