18 Triangle $ H J K $ and triangle PMK are similar right triangles. The coordinates of all the vertices are integers.
Which statement is true about the slope of $ \overline{H K} $ and the slope of $ \overline{P K} $ ?
$ F $ The slope of $ \overline{H K} $ is less than the slope of $ \overline{P K} $, because the ratio of the change in $ y $-values of the endpoints to the change in $ x $-values of the endpoints is less for $ \overline{H K} $ than it is for PK.
$ G $ The slope of $ \overline{H K} $ is equal to the slope of $ \overline{P K} $, because the ratio of the change in $ y $-values of the endpoints to the change in $ x $-values of the endpoints is the same for $ H K $ as it is for $ \overline{P K} $.
$ \mathbf{H} $ The slope of $ \overline{H K} $ is greater than the slope of $ \overline{P K} $, because the ratio of the change in $ y $-values of the endpoints to the change in $ x $-values of the endpoints is greater for HK than it is for $ \overline{P K} $.
J The relationship between the slope of $ \overline{H K} $ and the slope of $ \overline{P K} $ cannot be determined, because the triangles are congruent.
