Square EFGH is drawn on a coordinate plane. Diagonal GE is on the line y − 3 = 3(x + 4). What is the slope of diagonal FH? negative one third one third −3 3

Respuesta :

Answer: negative one third

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Square EFGH is drawn on a coordinate plane.

Diagonal GE is on the line [tex]y − 3 = 3(x + 4)[/tex].

[tex]\Rightarrow y-3=3x+12\\\\\Rightarrow\ y =3x+15[/tex]

Comparing this to Intercept form : y=mx+c , m= 3 = slope of GE .

Since diagonals of square are perpendicular, then

Slope of GE x Slope of FH = -1

⇒ 3 x Slope of FH = -1

[tex]\Rightarrow\ \text{Slope of FH}=\dfrac{-1}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the slope of diagonal FH = negative one third

Answer:

Don't 100% Trust me on this but I am almost certain the answer is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

I did a two step equation and if you work it out the answer would eventually be -6 - -3 but then the two minus would become positive so then it would be -6 + 3 so the answer is -3
