the triangle between points a and b has a veritcle height of 5 and a horizonal length of 3. The triangle between points b and c has a vericle height of 10 and a horizontal length of 6, as shown on the graph below.
the graph is of 4 quardrants. There is trend line going from (-8,-10) to (3,10) at 3,10 theres a point which is point c. at -3,0 theres another point which is point b. and at -6,-5 theres point a. there is a triangle from point a to point b and another triangle from b to c.
which statement correctly describes the triangles?
A. the two triangles are similar because the simplified ratio of the vertical height to the horizontal legth for both triangles is 5/3
B. the two triangles are neither similar nor congruent because the corresponding vertical and horizontal distances are not equal.
C. the two triangles are congruent because the hypotenuses of both triangles lie on the same line.
D. the slopes of the hypotenuses of the two triangles are not equal since the triangles are not congruent
