if AD is the altitude of BC, what is the slope of AD?

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the slope of BC :
⇒ m (BC) = -1 - 5 / -3 - 5
⇒ m (BC) = -6/-8
⇒ m (BC) = 3/4
Now, since AD is the altitude of BC, we can say the altitude is perpendicular to BC.
Hence, the slope of a perpendicular line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the original line.
⇒ m (AD) = - (1/m(BC))
⇒ m (AD) = - (1/(3/4))
⇒ m (AD) = -4/3
