To find the slope, Jackie makes right triangle P by using the graph of the line as the hypotenuse of the triangle as shown in the 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.
