Catherine used the two points and the right triangle shown to find the slope of the line Catherine found the slope to be 1/10. Is she correct? Explain using complete sentences.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Catherine is not correct (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

the two points from the graph are

(4,40) and (7,70)

substitute the values in the formula

[tex]m=\frac{70-40}{7-4}\\m=\frac{30}{3}\\m=10[/tex]

therefore

Catherine is not correct
