For the lines to be parallel, the slope must be the same

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = slope

(7- (-3)) / (b-2) = -2

-2 (b-2) = 10

-2b + 4 = 10

-2b = 6

b = -3

Use the equation below to find y, if m=4, x = 3, and b=11
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

y = 23

Prove ΔABC ∼ ΔGEF. (10 points)
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the below diagram for the given triangles, then ∠B=∠E and ∠A=∠G if AB=GE or if BC=EF, then corresponding angles will be equal.

Therefore, if we rotate the diagram, then also the angles will remain the same.
