Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

The figure below shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar:
Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

A. It is −2 throughout the line.

B. It is -1/2 throughout the line.

C. The slope from point O to point A is fraction 1 over 2 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

D. The slope from point O to point A is two times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

Answer 1

A. False. The slope is actually -1/2. Each time y goes down by 1, x increases by 2.

B. True. We can use the slope formula to further confirm the slope is -1/2

C. False. The slope is the same throughout the line. So slope of OA = slope of AB. The slope throughout the line is -1/2.

D. False. Same reason as choice C

Final Answer: Choice B
