SOLUTION: two right triangles have hypotenuses along the same line. Triangle L has a height of 27 and a base of b. Triangle m has a height of b and a base of 3. What is the slope of the line

This condition is very ambiguous.


1. The condition doesn't says in the first phrase that the line and the triangles are in a coordinate plane. 

2. One can call ANY of the two legs of an right-angled triangle as a base. Then the other leg will be "the height".

3. Are the triangles located in one half-plane or in different half-planes?
   The solution and the result depends on it.

There is no sense to solve so badly formulated problem. 
It doen't make sense.

Sorry.
