Question

Meg calculated the slope of line AC between points A and B. Tania calculated the slope of line AC between points B and C. Both Meg and Tania drew triangles, as shown below, to calculate the slopes:

Which statement is correct about the slopes calculated by Meg and Tania if both calculated the slopes accurately?

Answer 1

slopes of 2/3 and 4/6 are the same

Explanation:

the slope of AB = 2/3

the slope of BC = 4/6

2/3 and 4/6 are equivalent because 4/6 simplifes to be 2/3

therefore, they are both correct
