e figure. To check her work, she repeats the process and makes a right triangle Q as shown. Which statement explains why the slope of the line should be the same when calculated with either triangle?
A
The two triangles are similar.
B
The two triangles are congruent.
C
One triangle is a translation of the other triangle.
D
The lengths of the hypotenuse of each triangle are equal.

Answer:
The points that are exactly 10 units from the point (–8, –2) are (2, –2) and (–8, 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula is;
d=
So for distance between: (–8, –2) and (2, –2) is:
d=
d=
d= 10 unit
Similarly for distance between: (–8, –2) and (–8, 8) is,
d=
d=
d= 10 unit
