Question

An enlarged view of the daycare patio is shown below that contains two similar triangles. Using this image, prove that parallel lines have the same slope. You must show all of your work to receive credit.

Answer 1

8-2/0-6= -1
14-10/2-6= -1
The lines have the same slope but how should i put it in a paragraph.

Answer 2

Explain what the magnification between the two triangles. You can say the larger one is 2x larger (thats not correct, just an example) to provide further evidence. Also say that they have the same slope which is also good evidence.

Answer 3

you see that both bases of the triangles are on lines that are branched at a 90 degree angle from the line with the undefined slope. this means that they are parallel

Answer 4

Thank you both for helping
