Answer:

y =  \frac{5}{4} x + 3 \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Let's find the gradient of the line, m, first.

Gradient=\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

m =  \frac{7 - 2}{3 - ( - 1)}  \\ m =  \frac{5}{3 + 1}  \\ m = \frac{5}{4}

y =  \frac{5}{4} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

when x= -1, y= 2,

2 =  \frac{5}{4} ( - 1) + c \\ c = 2 +  \frac{5}{4}  \\ c = 3 \frac{1}{4}

Thus, the equation of the line is

y =  \frac{5}{4} x + 3 \frac{1}{4}

To prove a similarity of a triangle, we use angles or sides.

In this case we use angles to prove

∠ACB = ∠AED (Corresponding ∠s)
∠AED = ∠FDE (Alternate ∠s)

∠ABC = ∠ADE (Corresponding ∠s)
∠ADE = ∠FED (Alternate ∠s)

∠BAC = ∠EFD (sum of ∠s in a triangle)

Now we know the similarity in the triangles.

But it is necessary to write the similar triangle according to how the question ask.

The question asks " ∆ABC is similar to ∆____. " So we find ∠ABC in the prove.

∠ABC corressponds to ∠FED as stated above.
∴ ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED

Similarly, if the question asks " ∆ACB is similar to ∆____. "
We answer as ∆ACB is similar to ∆FDE.

Answer is ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED.
