HELPPPP ∆ ABC and ∆ CDE are similar right triangles. The coordinates of all the vertices are integers.
A. The relationship between the slope of AC and the slope of CE cannot be determined because the triangles are congruent.
B. The slope of AC is greater than the slope of CE. This is because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is greater for AC than for CE.
C. The slope of AC is equal to the slope of CE. This is because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is the same for AC and CE.
D. The slope of AC is less than the slope of CE. This is because the ratio of the change in y-values of the endpoints to the change in x-values of the endpoints is less for AC than for CE.
