ΔRSP ≅ ΔQSP by SAS. Therefore, PR ≅ PQ by CPCTC theorem.

<h3>What is the CPCTC Theorem?</h3>

If two triangles are congruent, the CPCTC theorem states that all corresponding parts of the two triangles would also be congruent to each other.

Since S is the midpoint of QR, therefore, RS ≅ QS (one pair of congruent sides)

∠RSP ≅ ∠QSP [right angles] (one pair of congruent included angles)

SP ≅ SP based on the reflexive property (one pair of congruent sides)

Therefore, ΔRSP ≅ ΔQSP by SAS.

Conclusively, PR ≅ PQ by CPCTC theorem.

This is a vertical line that goes through all points with an x-coordinate of -9.

To graph it, I can give you a couple of points this line goes through so you can draw it more easily.

Points that are on line: (-9,0) and (-9,1)

Look at the graph shown:

Lorico [155]

Pick two points. For example, (0,3) and (2,4)

First, find the slope:
$\text{Slope } = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 } { x_2 - x_1 } = \frac{ 4 - 3}{ 2 - 0}=\boxed{\bf{ \frac{ 1}{ 2}}}$

The slope is 1/2.

Now we have this much of the equation:

y = 1/2x + b

Plug in the point (0,3) to find the value of b

3 = (1/2)(0) + b
b = 3

Your final equation is y = 1/2x + 3.
