Using Similar Triangles On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 3) and (x, y). A triangle has a rise of 2 and run of 3. A
larger triangle has a rise of 5 and run of 7. Use similar triangles to determine the equation of the line with a slope of 2/3 that passes through the point (0, 3). What is the ratio of the rise to the run in the smaller triangle in the diagram? What is the ratio of the rise to the run in the larger triangle in the diagram? What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
