Which statement is not true?

• A and B

• D only

• C only

• A, B and D

• 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 the same as the slope of line CA because the ratios of the corresponding sides of the triangles are equivalent.

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