Answer:
I agree with both of them because they are both correct
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for complete question;
Slope (m) is calculated using the following formula:
[tex]m = \frac{Rise}{Run}[/tex]
Where
[tex]Rise = Vertical\ Distance[/tex]
[tex]Run = Horizontal\ Distance[/tex]
From the attachment, we have the following:
Triangle A
[tex]Rise = 6\ units[/tex]
[tex]Run = 4\ units[/tex]
So:
[tex]m = \frac{Rise}{Run}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{6}{4}[/tex]
In this case, Mai is correct:
Triangle B
[tex]Rise = 1.5\ units[/tex]
[tex]Run = 1\ units[/tex]
So:
[tex]m = \frac{Rise}{Run}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{1.5}{1}[/tex]
[tex]m = 1.5[/tex]
In this case, Elena is also correct:
