△ABC and △CDE similar right triangles. The coordinates of all the vertices are integers. The relationship between the slope of AC¯¯¯¯¯ and the slope of CE¯¯¯¯¯ cannot be determined, because the triangles are congruent. The slope of AC¯¯¯¯¯ is greater than the slope of CE¯¯¯¯¯ . This is because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is greater for AC¯¯¯¯¯ than for CE¯¯¯¯¯ . The slope of AC¯¯¯¯¯ is equal to the slope of CE¯¯¯¯¯ . This this because ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is the same for AC¯¯¯¯¯ as for CE¯¯¯¯¯ The slope of AC¯¯¯¯¯ is less than the slope of CE¯¯¯¯¯ . This is because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is less for AC¯¯¯¯¯ than for CE¯¯¯¯¯ .
