Question

Which statement is TRUE concerning the slope of the line formed by the hypotenuse of each triangle? A) BC AB = CD DE B) BC AB = DE CD C) AB BC = CD DE D) AB BC = DE CD

Answer 1

C is the answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option C. AB/BC=CD/DE

Explanation:

we know that

In the triangle ABC the slope is equal to

m=AB/BC -----> equation A

In the triangle CDE the slope is equal to

m=CD/DE -----> equation B

Remember that the slope of a line is a constant

so

equate equation A and equation B

AB/BC=CD/DE
