Complete the parts below. (a) Find the run, rise, and slope given by triangle ABC. slope:| run: rise: (b) Find the run, rise, and slope given by triangle DEF. rise:| slope: run: (c) Are the two slopes computed above equal? Why or why not? Yes. They are equal because the two triangles are similar. Yes. They are equal because the two triangles are congruent. No. They are not equal because the larger the triangle, the larger the slope. No. They are not equal because the smaller the triangle, the smaller the slope.
