The rise and run that would give us a similar right triangle on the same given line is: B. a rise of 8 and a run of 6.

What is the Rise and Run of Points on the Same Line?

The rise/run of any two points on the same line are have the same slope value.

Given the coordinates:

  • A(-5, -6)
  • B(-5, -2)

The rise of triangle ABC = change in y = 4 units

The run of triangle ABC = change in x = 3 units

Rise/run = 4/3

Therefore, a rise of 8 and a run of  6 would give us: 8/6 = 4/3.

This will give us a triangle similar to triangle ABC.

Therefore, the answer is: B. a rise of 8 and a run of 6.
