Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One: Identify two points on the line.

Step Two: Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2).

Step Three: Use the slope equation to calculate slope.

Let's say that points (15, 8) and (10, 7) are on a straight line. What is the slope of this line?

Step One: Identify two points on the line.

In this example we are given two points, (15, 8) and (10, 7), on a straight line.

Step Two: Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2).

It doesn't matter which we choose, so let's take (15, 8) to be (x2, y2). Let's take the point (10, 7) to be the point (x1, y1).

Step Three: Use the equation to calculate slope.

Once we've completed step 2, we are ready to calculate the slope using the equation for a slope.

We said that it really doesn't matter which point we choose as (x1, y1) and the which to be (x2, y2). Let's show that this is true. Take the same two points (15, 8) and (10, 7), but this time we will calculate the slope using (15, 8) as (x1, y1) and (10, 7) as the point (x2, y2). Then substitute these into the equation for slope.

Answer:

ΔJKL ≅ ΔMNO by SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, the question is as following:

ΔMNO is shown.

Which Δ below can be shown to be congruent to ΔMNO with only the given information?

Name the postulate that justifies your answer (SAS, AAS, HL, ASA or SSS).

Write the congruency statement for the triangles.

And see the attached figure which represent ΔMNO

==========================================================

Check the given options to see which triangle from the option will be congruent to ΔMNO

1. In triangles MNO and ABC, there are two congruent sides and non-included angle - which mean (angle - side - side)

The (angle - side - side) Postulate does not exist because an angle and two sides does not guarantee that two triangles are congruent.

2. In triangles MNO and DEF, there are two congruent sides - there is not enough information

3. In triangles MNO and GHI, there are three congruent angles - which mean AAA (angle - angle - angle)

The AAA Postulate does not exist because an angle and two sides does not guarantee that two triangles are congruent. This postulate is used to prove the similarity between the triangles.

4. In triangles MNO and JKL, there are two congruent sides and included angle - SAS (side - angle - side)

MN ≅ JK , MO ≅ JL , ∠M ≅ ∠J
