**Question 1: Which statement is FALSE about the triangles shown on the graph?**
- **A: The triangles are congruent.**
- This would imply that the triangles have the same size and shape, which may not necessarily be true unless specified that they have the same dimensions.
- **B: The triangles are similar.**
- Similar triangles have the same shape but may differ in size, and this can generally be true if they have the same angles.
- **C: The triangles are proportional.**
- This typically implies that the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, which holds for similar triangles but does not have to hold if the triangles are not similar.
- **D: Both are right triangles.**
- If both triangles are described as right triangles, this is a definitive statement that can be true if both triangles contain a right angle.
Based on typical definitions:
- If they are not congruent, *A* could be false.
- If they do share angles, then *B* is likely true.
- Hence, **the statement "The triangles are congruent" could be the likely false statement if they only share angles and not sizes.**
**Question 2: Which choice is FALSE about the slope of the line shown on the graph?**
- **A: Any two points on the line will have the same slope.**
- This is true; a straight line has a constant slope.
- **B: The slope of the line is equivalent to \( \frac{c}{d} \).**
- **C: The slope of the line is equivalent to \( \frac{a}{b} \).**
- **D: The slope of the line is not equal to \( \frac{a}{b} \) or \( \frac{c}{d} \).**
- If \( \frac{a}{b} \) and \( \frac{c}{d} \) represent the slope of the line using two different pairs of points, then this implies a contradiction if both ratios give the slope of a straight line.
If the slopes \( \frac{a}{b} \) and \( \frac{c}{d} \) come from the same line, they must be equal. Therefore, **D would be the false statement** if both \( \frac{a}{b} \) and \( \frac{c}{d} \) represent valid slope calculations for the same line.
**Summary of Answers:**
- **Question 1:** A (could be false if triangles are not the same size).
- **Question 2:** D (false if both ratios \( \frac{a}{b} \) and \( \frac{c}{d} \) describe the same slope).
Please ensure that the graph you are referencing supports these conclusions. Understanding the context and properties of triangles and lines is crucial for accurately answering such questions!
