Answer: B) [tex]\frac{2-0}{3-0}=\frac{4-2}{6-3}[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can calculate the slope by applying the following formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}.y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

2. The point A is (0,0) and the point C is (3,2).

Where:

[tex]y_{2}=2\\y_{1}=0\\x_{2}=3\\x_{1}=0[/tex]

3. The point C is (3,2) and the point E is (6,4).

Where:

 [tex]y_{2}=4\\y_{1}=2\\x_{2}=6\\x_{1}=3[/tex]

4. Then, you have:

[tex]\frac{2-0}{3-0}=\frac{4-2}{6-3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

5. Therefore, the slope of AC is equal of the slope CE.

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation: The formula is y2-y1/x2-x1. If you apply that formula to the question, you get B.

Oh, also I took the test.

Hope I helped!
