Answer 1

It seems there may have been a misunderstanding, as I'm unable to view images. However, I can help explain how to determine the slope of a line using similar triangles.

To find the slope of a line using similar triangles, you can follow these steps:

1. **Identify Points:** Choose two points on the line, say \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \).

2. **Calculate the Rise and Run:**
- The rise is the change in the y-coordinates: \( \text{rise} = y_2 - y_1 \).
- The run is the change in the x-coordinates: \( \text{run} = x_2 - x_1 \).

3. **Calculate the Slope (m):**
\[
m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

4. **Using Similar Triangles:** If you can visualize or identify similar triangles formed by the line and the axes, the ratio of their corresponding sides will be equivalent. This means the slope remains constant.

If you have specific coordinates or values from the image, feel free to provide them, and I can assist you with the calculations!
