Hello!
For this problem we are given that quadrilateral ABCD is congruent to quadrilateral GJIH, meaning that all sides and angle measures will be equivalent to its corresponding side.
This means that to find , we can look at quadrilateral GJIH's corresponding side to quadrilateral ABCD's side AD, which is side GH, which has a value of 9.
This means that 9 should also be the side length of side AD, which we're given a value of .
Solve.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line:
The equation of a line has the following format:
In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Perpendicular lines:
When two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.
Perpendicular to y=1/8x+2
This line has slope
So, for the line we want to find the equation, we have that:
So
Find the equation of the line through point (1,−5)
This means that when . We use this to find b. So:
The equation of the line is:
