Question

triangle DEF and triangle CBD are similar right triangles which statement is slopes is DF and CDs true

Answer 1

We can calculate the slope of a line segment by using the formula:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points of the line.

In this case the side DF goes from the point D(-2,-2) to the point F(1,7), then its slope is:

`m=(7-(-2))/(1-(-2))=(7+2)/(1+2)=(9)/(3)=3`

For the side, CD, it goes from D(-2,-2) to C(0,4), then its slope is:
