$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$

Brandon and Madison use different triangles to determine the slope of the line shown below.
[IMG]
Brandon started at (0,-1) and drew a right triangle going up 2 units and right 3 units.
Madison started at (-3,-3) and drew a right triangle going up 6 units and right 9 units.
Draw and label both triangles on the graph.
How can Brandon and Madison use their triangles to find the slope?
What trigonometric ratio do Brandon and Madison use to find the slope?
Problem 2

Find the length of the line segment.
Find the measure of all of the angles of the triangle formed.
Problem 3
Standing on the gallery of a lighthouse (the deck at the top of a lighthouse), a person spots a ship at an angle of depression of 20°. The lighthouse is 28 meters tall and sits on a cliff 45 meters tall as measured from sea level.  What is the horizontal distance between the lighthouse and the ship?
