A line is never ending on both ends, while a ray has a point where it stops on one of it's points, but goes on forever on the other one.

A line is a straight set of points that extend in opposite directions without ending. A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends in one direction without ending. A line segment is a part of a line between two endpoints. I hope the helped you understand.

Write an equation of the line passing through the given points.<br> (3,-25) and (-3,5)<br><br> y=

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

y = -5x -10

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the slope-intercept form:

$y-y_{1} = m(x -x_{1})$

First, we look for the slope. The slope is found by using the equation:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1}}$

$m = \frac{5 - (-25)}{-3 - 3} = \frac{30}{-6} = -5$

m = -5.

Now, given the two points, our y₁ is -25, and our x₁ is 3. Therefore, we substitute these values into the equation, and get:

y - (-25) = -5(x - 3)

y + 25 = -5(x - 3)

y + 25 = -5x + 15

y = -5x + 15 -25

y = -5x -10

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure below, segment CD is parallel to segment EF, DE is a transversal, then angles DIH and HGI are congruent as alternate interior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Consider triangles DIH and EGH. In these triangles,
