Question

determine whether the two triangles below could lie on the same graphed line. explain your reasoning.
24 units
28 units
28 units
32 units
yes, both of the ratios of rise over run are the same.
no, the ratios of rise over run are not the same.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate slope of first triangle

Slope 1 = $\frac{24}{28}=\frac{6}{7}$

Step2: Calculate slope of second triangle

Slope 2 = $\frac{28}{32}=\frac{7}{8}$

Step3: Compare slopes

Since $\frac{6}{7}
eq\frac{7}{8}$

Answer:

No, the ratios of rise over run are not the same.
