Which statement is true about the right triangles shown in the coordinate plane?

a)

The triangles are unrelated to one another.

b)

The triangles are congruent, because they have the same slope.

c)

The triangles are similar and therefore have the same slope.

d)

Which proportion could be used to show the slope of line VX is equal to the slope of line XZ?

a)

1−(−5)1−(−2)=1−31−(−5)\frac{1-\left(-5\right)}{1-\left(-2\right)}=\frac{1-3}{1-\left(-5\right)}

b)

1−(−5)1−(−2)=5−13−1\frac{1-\left(-5\right)}{1-\left(-2\right)}=\frac{5-1}{3-1}

18.

The slope of line CA is  −32-\frac{3}{2}  . Which of the following is true about the slope of line XZ?

a)

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

b)

The slope of line XZ is one-half the slope of line CA because the ratio of corresponding sides between the triangles is  12\frac{1}{2}  .

c)

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.

d)

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

19.
