Answer: The answer is B, so BD and CE are not congruent.

Explanation:

1. Take a good look at the number line below. As you can see, the number line goes by two units each jump. Keep in mind that 2 lines would need to have equal length to be called congruent.

2. Let's see how many jumps it takes to make it from B to D. This is how you will determine your answer.

4 jumps = 8 units

3. Now, let's see how many jumps it will take to make it from C to E.

5 jumps = 10 units

Conclusion: 8 < 10, so BD and CE are not congruent.
