Question

Triangles MNQ and MOP are similar. What is the slope of segment MO?

A. 1/3
B. 1/2
C. 2/3
D. 3/2

Answer 1

D. 3/2

Explanation:

The scale factor is 1/2 from OP / NQ = 1/2. Because of that, MQ is equal to half of MP and QP is equal to half of MP. Therefore, QP = MQ = 2. The slope of MO is rise over run which is 6 / 4 or 3 / 2.
