Answer:

b = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = - 2x + 17 is in this form with slope m = - 2

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

slope of line through the 2 points is - 2

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (b, 7)

m = \frac{7-3}{b-2} = \frac{4}{b-2}, hence

\frac{4}{b-2} = - 2 ( cross- multiply )

- 2(b - 2) = 4

- 2b + 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- 2b = 0 ⇒ b = 0

ohaa [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: AB\parallel DCAB∥DC and BC\parallel ADBC∥AD .

Draw a diagonal AC.

In triangle BCA and DAC,

AC\cong ACAC≅AC (Reflexive Property of Equality)

\angle BAC\cong \angle DCA∠BAC≅∠DCA ( Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

\angle BCA\cong \angle DAC∠BCA≅∠DAC ( Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that two triangles are congruent if two corresponding angles and the included side of are congruent.

By ASA postulate,

\triangle BCA\cong \triangle DAC△BCA≅△DAC

Therefore option B is correct
