Label four points on the line as,,, and. You need to show that the slope between points and is the same as the slope between points and. 364 Unit 5

raw the rise and run for the slope between points and. Label the intersection as point. raw the rise and run for the slope between points and. Label the intersection as point F. Write expressions for the slope between and and between and. Slope between and : Slope between and : F xtend and F across your drawing. and F are both horizontal lines, so they are parallel. Line l is a that intersects parallel lines. omplete the following statements: and are corresponding angles and are. and are right angles and are. F y ngle ngle Similarity, and are similar triangles. G H Use the fact that the lengths of corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional to complete the following ratios: F = F Recall that you can also write the proportion so that the ratios compare parts of the same triangle: F =. I Reflect The proportion you wrote in step H shows that the ratios you wrote in are equal. So, the slope of line l is constant. 7. What If? Suppose that you label two other points on line l as G and H. Would the slope between these two points be different than the slope you found in the xplore ctivity? xplain. Lesson 11.3 365
