Answer:

Yes, the triangle does lie on a line with a slope of
(5)/(3).

Explanation:

First, understand what the slope of a line means. The fraction stands for rise over run:


(5)/(3) \rightarrow (rise)/(run) \rightarrow (y)/(x)

So, if we divide the height of the triangle by its base, we can see if it is equal to the line's slope:


(85)/(51) = (85 / 17)/(51 / 17) = (5)/(3)

Therefore, the triangle does lie on the slope.
