Find the slope

a. 1/2
b. -1/2
c. -2
d. 2

Answer the questions in the attachment. a rescue helicopter is at point a and a rescue boat is at point e. the helicopter pilot spots boats in distress at points d and c,with angles as marked in the diagram. figure abce is a rectangle. the altitude of the rescue helicopter, represented by ae, is 5000 feet.

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.

Which one is the correct answer, and why?
