Answer:

Option C $-7x-5y=-48$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of AB

we have

A(-3,-1) and B(4,4)

The slope m is equal to

$m=(4+1)/(4+3)$

$m=5/7$

step 2

Find the slope of BC

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

$m1*m2=-1$

we have

$m1=5/7$

substitute

$5/7*m2=-1$

$m2=-7/5$

step 3

Find the equation of the line into slope point form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-7/5$

$B(4,4)$

substitute

$y-4=-(7/5)(x-4)$

Multiply by 5 both sides

$5y-20=-7x+28$

$7x+5y=28+20$

$7x+5y=48$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$-7x-5y=-48$

Answer:

3. ∠BDE ≅ ∠BAC; Corresponding Angles Postulate 5. ΔBDE ~ ΔBAC; Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

3) Statement ∠BDE ≅ ∠BAC;

Corresponding Angles Postulate

The Corresponding Angles Postulate states that given two parallel lines, in this case DE and AC cut by a transversal one (AB) than these corresponding angles are congruent.

5) ΔBDE ~ ΔBAC; Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate

If two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent (∠D and ∠A, ∠E and ∠C) than these triangles are similar.

Steps to finding the line in the diagram with the format 'ax + by = c

1. Find the slope

To find the slope, we need any two points on the line --> (0,4) and (3,0)

$Slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{4-0}{0-3} =-\frac{4}{3}$

2. Set up, with any one point on the line and the slope, in point-slope form

$(y-y0)=m(x-x0)\\(y-4)=-\frac{4}{3} (x-0)\\y-4 = -\frac{4}{3} x\\\frac{4}{3}x+y = 4$

<u>Answer</u>: $\frac{4}{3}x+y = 4$

Hope that helps!
