On a coordinate plane, a right triangle has points A (negative 5, negative 6), B (negative 5, negative 2), C (negative 2, negative 2).
Examine the right triangle ABC. Which rise and run would create a similar right triangle on the same line?
a rise of 6 and a run of 8
a rise of 8 and a run of 6
a rise of 6 and a run of 5
a rise of 5 and a run of 6

Sagot :

A rise of 8 and a run of 6. Then the correct option is B.

What is a coordinate geometry?

Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space.

On a coordinate plane, a right triangle has points A (-5, -6), B (-5, -2), and C (-2, -2).

The distance between AB will be

AB² = (-5 + 5)² + (-2 + 4)²

AB² = 4²

AB = 4

The distance between BC will be

BC² = (-2 + 5)² + (-2 + 2)²

BC² = 3²

 BC = 3

Then the rise and run will be

rise / run = 4 / 3

Then this can be written as

rise / run = 8 / 6

Then the correct option is B.
