True. The midsegment of a triangle is halfway up the triangle, and since the top half and the full triangle are similar triangles, its dimensions are proportional.
This means half the height will give half the base (midsegment). So the midsegment is always half the length of the side it's parallel to.
Answer: y = -2x - 4
Slope will be same (-2) as the given equation bc they want a parallel line.
Use the given ordered pair and slope to solve for b.
Work:
7 4/5 multiply 4/5 by 2 which will be 7 8/10+ 12 1/10 whigh will end up as 19 9/10
