Question

On a coordinate plane, a right triangle has points A (negative 5, negative 6), B (negative 5, negative 2), C (negative 2, negative 2). Examine the right triangle ABC. Which rise and run would create a similar right triangle on the same line? a rise of 6 and a run of 8 a rise of 8 and a run of 6 a rise of 6 and a run of 5 a rise of 5 and a run of 6

Answer 1

The rise and run that would give us a similar right triangle on the same given line is: B. a rise of 8 and a run of 6.

What is the Rise and Run of Points on the Same Line?

The rise/run of any two points on the same line are have the same slope value.

Given the coordinates:

• A(-5, -6)
• B(-5, -2)

The rise of triangle ABC = change in y = 4 units

The run of triangle ABC = change in x = 3 units

Rise/run = 4/3

Therefore, a rise of 8 and a run of  6 would give us: 8/6 = 4/3.

This will give us a triangle similar to triangle ABC.

Therefore, the answer is: B. a rise of 8 and a run of 6.
