Rearrange the formula given to determine the slope, you will see that in y=mx+b form the slope is -2/3
You now have the slope (m) and two test points. Input those values into y=mx+b and you will have your answer!
I got y=(-2/3)x+(22/3) which I'm quite certain is correct.

In the diagram, VZ/YZ=WZ/XZ. To prove that △VWZ ~ △YXZ by the SAS similarity theorem, which other sides or angles should be used

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: $\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$

Two triangles are called congruent if their corresponding sides are in same proportion or the corresponding angles are same.

If two corresponding sides of triangle have same proportion and their inclined angle is same, then by SAS rule of similarity both triangles are similar.

From the given figure it is noticed that the ∠VZW and ∠YZX are vertically opposite angles. The vertically opposite angles are always equal.

$\angle VZW=\angle YZX$ (Vertically opposite angles)

$\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$ (Given)

By SAS rule of similarity

$VWZ\sim YXZ$

Therefore the angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.

(7y is supposed to be 7x)

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle E is (7x+27) because it is corresponding.

So, 7x+27+15x-5=180 (angle on a straight line is 180 degrees

22x+22=180

22x=158

x= 158/22 = 7.18'

Given the point (-6, 1) & slope = 1/3, what is the equation of the line? *

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

y=1/3 + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 1/3x + b

(1) = 1/3(-6) + b

1 = -2 +b

3 = b

y=1/3 + b
