The slope and length of segment DE in the given triangle are: 0.5, and 1.6 units respectively.

What is the Slope of Parallel Lines?

The slope of lines that are parallel to each other are always the same.

Segment DE is parallel to segment BC in triangle ABC.

Since slope of BC is 0.5, slope of DE would also be: 0.5.

Since E and D are the the midpoints of AC and AB respectively, it means that:

Length of DE = 1/2(length of BC)

Length of DE = 1/2(3.2)

Length of DE = 1.6 units

Therefore, slope of DE is: 0.5

Length of DE is: 1.5 units.
