On a coordinate plane, a right triangle has points A (negative 5, negative 6), B (negative 5, negative 2), C (negative 2, negati
1 answer:
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.
<h3>What is the Rise and Run of Points on the Same Line?</h3>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.
