ER.DFA2.8.M.EE.06 Use similar triangles to explain why the slope (m) is the same
between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane;
derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx +
b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
1. Which statement below is false concerning the triangles in the graph?
a. The triangle’s slope remains constant.
b. The rise and run of each triangle are proportional.
c. The triangle’s do not have the same slope.
d. The slope of the line is -2.
2. Which of the following statements is false concerning the graph below?
!
!
!
!
a. The triangles are proportionate to each other.
b. The slope of the smaller triangle is 2; the slope of the
larger triangle is 4
c. The rise and run of the smaller triangle is - 2/2.
d. The rise and run of the larger triangle is - 4/4.
3. Are the points (-4,8), (0,2), and (2,-1) collinear?
a. no, because they do not lie on the same line.
b. yes, because they have a positive slope.
c. no, because the first point is farther from the second point than the third point.
d. yes, because they have the same slope ratio.
4. Using the figure below, write the slope-intercept equation for lines
