What do similar triangles have to do with the slope of a line?
1. What are the coordinates of point A?[br]2. What are the coordinates of point C?[br]3. What are the coordinates of point D?[br]4. Use these coordinates to find the slope of segment AD. What is the slope?[br]
1. What are the coordinates of point D?[br]2. What are the coordinates of point E?[br]3. What are the coordinates of point F?[br]4. Use these coordinates to find the slope of segment DF. What is the slope?
1. Are these triangles similar?[br]2. Did you use the information from all of the points? Why or why not?[br]3. If you did not have a graph with a line on it, but you were given two similar triangles such as these, could you find the slope of their hypotenuse? [br]
