Triangle CDE and triangle CFG are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of CE is equal to the slope of CG?
Responses
A
=
4 − 3 6 − 2 = 6 − 3 9 − 2
B
=
4 − 2 6 − 3 = 9 − 3 6 − 2
C
=
4 − 2 6 − 3 = 6 − 2 9 − 3
D
=
6 − 3 4 − 2 = 6 − 2 9 − 3
C
4 − 2 6 − 3 = 6 − 2 9 − 3
you sure?
Apologies for the mistake.
The correct proportion to show that the slope of CE is equal to the slope of CG in similar triangles CDE and CFG is:
(ΔyCE)/(ΔxCE) = (ΔyCG)/(ΔxCG)
So the correct answer is:
C
(4 - 2)/(6 - 3) = (6 - 2)/(9 - 3)
