Rise Over Run Using Similar Triangles

Slope is known as rise/

• run

• fall

• none

• rise

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar. The slope of triangle ABC is...

• which is the same as the slope of triangle DEF.

• 3/4 which is the slope of hypotenuse of triangle DEF.

• 4/3 which is the slope of triangle DEF.

• -1 which is the same as the slope of triangle DEF.

Triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar right triangles. Based on this information, which state is true?

• The slope of the line segment AC is less than the slope of the line segment DF.

• The slope of the line segment AC is equal to the slope of the line segment DF.

• The relationship of the slope of the line segment AC and the slope of the line segment DF cannot be determined.

• The slope of the line segment AC is greater than the slope of the line segment DF.
