Find the slope of the diagonals of a quadrilateral with vertices A(1,7

1.	Find the slope of the diagonals of a quadrilateral with vertices A(1,7) ,B(6,3),C(0,-3) and D(-3,3).
Answer» In quadrilateral ABCD, AC and BD are the DIAGONALS. To find the SLOPE of AC, A(X1,Y1)= (1,7) and C(X2,Y2)= (0,-3) Therefore, Slope(m)= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) =(-3-7)/(0-1) = -10/-1 = 10 In the same way, to find the slope of BD, B(X1,Y1)=(6,3) and D(X2,Y2)=(-3,3) Therefore, Slope(m)= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) = (3-3)/(-3-6) = 0/-9 =0

Answer»

In quadrilateral ABCD, AC and BD are the DIAGONALS.

To find the SLOPE of AC, A(X1,Y1)= (1,7) and C(X2,Y2)= (0,-3)

Therefore, Slope(m)= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

=(-3-7)/(0-1)

= -10/-1

= 10

In the same way, to find the slope of BD, B(X1,Y1)=(6,3) and D(X2,Y2)=(-3,3)

Therefore, Slope(m)= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

= (3-3)/(-3-6)

= 0/-9
