The same as the hypotenuse of triangle DEF

3/4 the slope of hypotenuse of triangle DEF

4/3 the slope of hypotenuse of triangle DEF

the same as the hypotenuse of triangle DEF

half of the slope of triangle DEF

twice the slope of the hypotenuse of DEF

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

Triangle HJK and triangle PMK are similar right triangles. The coordinates of all the verticces are integers. Which statement is true about the slope of line HK and the slope of line PK.

The slope of line HK is equal to the slope of line PK because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is the same for line HK as it is for line PK.

The slope of line HK is less than the slope of line PK because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is less for line HK than it is for line PK.

The slope of line HK is greater than the slope of line PK because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is greater for line HK than it is for line PK.

The relationship between the slope of line HK and the slope of line PK cannot be determined because the traingles are congruent.

Which of the following is true about the triangles shown on the graph?

The slopes of the two triangles are the same.

The slope of the smaller triangle is smaller than the slope of the larger triangle.

The slope of the larger triangle is larger than the slope of the smaller triangle.

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

The slope of line CA is $$-\frac{3}{2}$$ . Which of the following is true about the slope of line XZ?

The slope of line XZ is the same as the slope of line CA because the ratios of the corresponding sides of the triangles are equivalent.

The slope of line XZ is the negative reciprocal of the slope of line CA because the triangles are flipped.

The slope of line XZ is one-half the slope of line CA because the ratio of corresponding sides between the triangles is $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

The is no relationship between the slope of line XZ and the slope of line CA.
