Answer:

Option C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the triangle ABC, the slope of the line CA is given by [tex]\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{6 - 3}{-3 - (- 1)}[/tex]

Again, considering the triangle CDE, the slope of the line EC is given by

[tex]\frac{CD}{DE} = \frac{3 - (- 3)}{- 1 - 3 }[/tex]

Since CA and EC represents the same straight line so, we can write

[tex]\frac{6 - 3}{-3 - (- 1)} = \frac{3 - (- 3)}{- 1 - 3 }[/tex]

Therefore, option C is the correct option. (Answer)
