Triangle LMN is similar to triangle PQR, and the hypotenuses of the triangles both lie on line X.The slope of line X between (-7, 6) and (-4, 4) is -2/3. What is the slope of line X between (-1, 2) and (5, -2)? A.-3/2B.2/3C.-2/3D.3/2

Question
Answer:
Answer: choice C) -2/3

The line X is completely straight meaning that the slope of line X is the same no matter which two points you pick. Since we're given that line X has a slope of -2/3 through the points (-7,6) and (-4,4), this also applies to the portion from (-1,2) to (5,-2)
