Similar Triangles & Slope | 8.EE.B.6

In this math video we will discuss similar triangles & slope. We will be presented with the graph of a line and two triangles arranged with their longest side on the line. We will have four statements to choose the one statement that must be true. We will consider each of the statements independently. We will determine if given line segements are congruent. We will consider angles and if they are congruent. We will also consider slope as a ratio of rise over run. We will compare the slopes of two different segments and determine if they are equivalent ratios. An exemplar solution is modeled and explained.
