Triangles ABC and DEF are similar. The slope of the hypotenuse of ABC is...

• the SAME as the slope of the hypotenuse of triangle DEF

• LESS THAN the slope of the hypotenuse of triangle DEF

• GREATER THAN the slope of the hypotenuse of triangle DEF

Explain whether or not the triangles shown could lie on the same line.

• Yes, because their slopes both simplify to -6.

• Yes, because their slopes both simplify to 1/6.

• No, because -72/12 is not the same as -144/24
