The figure shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar: A line is shown on a coordinate grid. The x axis values are from negative 15 to positive 15 in increments of 3 for each grid line. The y axis values are from negative 5 to positive 5 in increments of 1 for each grid line. The line passes through the ordered pairs negative 12, negative 4, and 0, 0, and 12, 4. A shaded right triangle is formed so that its hypotenuse is from ordered pair 0, 0 labeled O to negative 6, negative 2 labeled A, one leg is from 0, 0 to 0, negative 2, and the second leg is from 0, negative 2 to negative 6, negative 2. Another shaded right triangle is formed with the hypotenuse from negative 6, negative 2 to negative 9, negative 3 labeled B, one leg is from negative 6, negative 2 to negative 6, negative 3, and the second leg is from negative 9, negative 3 to negative 6, negative 3. Which statement about the slope of the line is true? It is 3 throughout the line. It is fraction 1 over 3 throughout the line. The slope from point O to point A is fraction 1 over 3 time the slope of the line from point A to point B. The slope from point O to point A is three times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

The figure below shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar:

A line is shown on a coordinate grid. The x axis values are from negative 20 to positive 20 in increments of 4 for each grid line. The y axis values are from negative 5 to positive 5 in increments of 1 for each grid line. The line passes through the ordered pairs negative 16, 4, and 0, 0, and 16, negative 4. A shaded right triangle is formed so that its hypotenuse is from ordered pair 0, 0 labeled as O to negative 8, 2 labeled as A, one leg is from 0, 0 to negative 8, 0, and the second leg is from negative 8, 0 to negative 8, 2. Another shaded right triangle is formed with the hypotenuse from negative 8, 2 to negative 12, 3 labeled as B, one leg is from negative 8, 2 to negative 12, 2, and the second leg is from negative 12, 2 to negative 12, 3.

Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

The slope from point O to point A is fraction 1 over 4 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

The slope from point O to point A is 4 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

It is fraction negative 1 over 4 throughout the line.

It is −4 throughout the line

Explanation:

not my answer found it on a different page but it should help.
