ZADE and AABC are similar. Which best explains why the slope of the line between points A and D is the same as the slope between points A and B?
Points A, D and B are on the hypotenuses of similar triangles.
Therefore, AD = AB, so the slope of AD is the same as the
slope of AB.

The triangles are similar, so the sides are proportional:
DR
Therefore, the slope of AD is the same as the slope
of AB
D
The triangles are similar, so the sides are proportional:
AE = AC and DE=BC. Therefore, DS
AK
Ac, so the slope of
AD is the same as the slope of AB.
The triangles are similar, so the sides have equal lengths.
Therefore, AD= DB, so the slope of AD is the same as the
slope of AB
