I would try drawing the line on a coordinate plane to help.
M=0-5/1-0
m=-5/1=-5
y-y1=m*(x-x1)
y-5=-5(x-0)
y-5=-5x
y=-5x+5
Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
varies inversely
xy = k
y = 7 when x = 2/3
(2/3)7 = k
14/3 = k
k = 14/3
--------------------
find y when x = 7/3
(7/3)y = 14/3
multiply both sides by 3/7
y = 14/3 * 3/7
y = 2
Ok so to find which sides are congruent we need to know their lengths.
To find the length we need the distance formula between two point ->
√(X2-X1)∧2 +(Y2-Y1)∧2
Ok lets find the first side PQ
P(-1,3) Q(2,-1)
X1 Y1 X2 Y2
√(2-(-1)∧2 + (-1-3)∧2 = 5
Now PR
P (-1,3) R (5,3)
X1 Y1 X2 Y2
√(5-(-1))∧2 + (3-3)∧2) = 6
Now the last side QR
Q (2, -1) R (5,3)
X1 Y1 X2 Y2
√(5-2)∧2 + (3-(-1))∧2 = 5
From the above work we see that PQ and QR are congruent becuase they are equal PQ=QR
Also the opposite angles of these sides are congruent. Hope this helps :).
