Question
Section 1 - Question 8
The coordinate plane shows two similar triangles on F James considered this image and said the slope of QOT and RS are the same because they overlap. Mary believed the slope of QT
and RS were not the same because the triangle created on
QT is larger than the triangle created on RS.
Could James provide additional justification to prove the two lines have the same slope?
QT
Yes, the slope of F is equal to RS
B
Yes, QT and RS both have the same slope as F
C
Yes, both triangles are right triangles, so they both have a slope of c when the formula a? + b2 = c?.
No, Mary is correct because the QT is V80 units long, and RS is V20 units long.
