You haven't shared the given line, so all I can do here is to invent a line and then show you how to write the equation of a new line which is parallel to mine and which has an x-intercept of 4.

My invented line: y = (2/3)x + 3

The new line MUST have the same slope: m = 2/3.

Then y = mx + b becomes y = (2/3)x + b. Find the x-intercept by setting y = 0 and solving for x: (2/3)x = 0 - b. Now replace x with 4 and find b:

-b = (2/3)(4) = 8/3. Then b = -8/3, and the new line is

y = (2/3)x - 8/3.

Triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $B$. Legs $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CB}$ are extended past point $B$ to points $D$ and

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Given :

ABC is a right triangle in which ∠ABC = 90°,

Also, Legs AB and CB are extended past point B to points D and E,

Such that,

$\angle EAC = \angle ACD = 90^{\circ}$

To prove :

$EB\times BD=AB\times BC$

Proof :

In triangles AEC and EBA,

∠EAC= ∠ABE ( right angles )

∠CEA = ∠AEB ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

$\triangle AEC \sim \triangle EBA$ ,

Similarly,

$\triangle AEC \sim \triangle ABC$

$\implies\triangle EBA\sim \triangle ABC-----(1)$

Now, In triangles ADC and CBD,

∠ACD = ∠CBD ( right angles )

∠ADC= ∠BDC ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

$\triangle ADC \sim \triangle CBD$ ,

Similarly,

$\triangle ADC \sim \triangle ABC$

$\implies \triangle CBD\sim \triangle ABC-----(2)$

From equations (1) and (2),

$\triangle EBA\sim \triangle CBD$

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proportion,

$\frac{EB}{BC}=\frac{AB}{BD}$

$\implies EB\times BD=AB\times BC$

Hence, proved....
