Two similar right triangles are shown in the coordinate plane. Point P lies on line segment PR. Which statement best compares the slope of PQ to the slope of PR.

• PQ and PR have the same length, so the slopes must be equal.

• The lengths of the corresponding legs of the two triangles are proportional because they are similar, so the slopes must be equal.

• The horizontal distance from P to Q is 2 units, but the vertical distance is 4 units, so the slopes can't be equal.

• The short leg of the large triangle is the same length as the long leg of the small triangle, so the slopes cannot be equal.
