First we need the slope, which we can get using (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plug in our coordinates and we get
(15 - 12) / (2 - -4)
3 / 6
1 / 2
So, our slope is 1/2.
Then, we take 1/2 of one of our x values, say, 2, and we get 1. How do we go from 1 to 15? We add 14. So our y - intercept is 14.
All this plugged into y = mx + b gives us the equation y = 1/2 x + 14
Answer:
NO.
Step-by-step explanation:
In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other. So, in other words, 2 shapes or figures in geometry are congruent if they have the exact same size and shape.
A rectangle has 2 pairs of parallel sides. One pair is longer than the other pair. Therefore, to be congruent, all sides have to be equal, which is a square, not a rectangle. So the answer is NO.
