Triangles that could lie on the line graph is triangle C.

How to determine orientation of triangle on a graph.

Let's determine the slope of the line and compare it with slope of each triangle

Given points (4,6) and (-4,-6) on the line.

Slope = change in y/Change in x

Slope,m = -6-6/-4-4

= -12/-8

= 3/2

Let's find slope of each triangle

Option A

Slope = 44/21

Option B

Slope = 36/12

= 3

Option C

Slope = 30/20

= 3/2

Option D

Slope = 52/26

= 2

Triangles that could lie on the line graph is triangle C. The ratio of the rise to run is 3: 2 which is the same with the ratio of rise to run of the line.
