Question

which statement best compares the slopes of lines ac and xz? the slope of line $overline{xz}$ is less than the slope of line $overline{ac}$. the slopes of the lines cannot be compared because they are on the same line. the slope of line $overline{ac}$ is less than the slope of line $overline{xz}$. the slope of line $overline{ac}$ is the same as the slope of line $overline{xz}$.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope - definition

The slope of a line is constant throughout the line. If two line - segments are on the same line, they have the same slope.

Step2: Analyze lines AC and XZ

Lines AC and XZ are on the same straight - line. So, their slopes are equal.

Answer:

The slope of line $\overline{AC}$ is the same as the slope of line $\overline{XZ}$.
