Answer:

Lines parallel to the given equation will have a slope of -⁵/2 and lines perpendicular to the given line will have a slope of ⅖.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a line, -2y = 5x + 8, first rewrite the equation in the slope-intercept form, before determining the slope of the lines that will be parallel to it, and slope of lines that will be perpendicular to it.

-2y = 5x + 8

Divide both sides by -2

y = 5x/-2 + 8/2

y = -⁵/2x + 4

The slope of the line of this equation is -⁵/2.

Linea that will be parallel to the given equation will have the same slope, while all lines that will be perpendicular to it will be a negative reciprocal of the slope of the equation.

Therefore:

Lines parallel to the given equation will have a slope of -⁵/2 and lines perpendicular to the given line will have a slope of ⅖.

Choose the congruence theorem that you would use to prove the triangles congruent.
Elena L [17]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

SAS

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>Before solving the problem, let's define each of the given theorems:</u>

<u>1- SSS (side-side-side):</u> This theorem is valid when the three sides of the first triangle are congruent to the corresponding three sides in the second triangle

<u>2- SAS (side-angle-side):</u> This theorem is valid when two sides and the included angle between them in the first triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and the included angle between them in the second triangle

<u>3- ASA (angle-side-angle):</u> This theorem is valid when two angles and the included side between them in the first triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and the included side between them in the second triangle

<u>4- AAS (angle-angle-side):</u> This theorem is valid when two angles and a side that is not included between them in the first triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and a side that is not included between them in the second triangle

<u>Now, let's check the given triangles:</u>

We can note that the two sides and the included angle between them in the first triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and the included angle between them in the second triangle

This means that the two triangles are congruent by <u>SAS</u> theorem

Hope this helps :)
