Astate transportation worker records the number of miles traveled on a thruway and the corresponding tolls. the worker creates a scatter plot of the data and determines that the line of best fit is t(m) = 0.04m + 1.26, where t is the amount of the toll, in dollars, and m is the number of miles traveled on the thruway. based on this linear model, how many miles can be traveled on the thruway for each additional $1 increase on the toll?

Statement reason 1. δabc is similar to δced. given 2. 3. definition of slope 4. slope of slope of definition of slope 5. slope of × slope of multiplying the slopes 6. slope of × slope of substitution property of equality 7. slope of × slope of simplifying the right side the table contains the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines. what is the reason for statement 2? a. parallel line segments that meet a common perpendicular line are proportional in length. b. the lengths of vertical and horizontal sides in congruent triangles are in a common ratio. c. trigonometric identities determine the lengths of the legs in a right triangle. d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
