Answer:

They are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of triangle ΔABC are;

A(1, 5), B(3, 9), and C(5, 3)

The vertices of triangle ΔDEF are;

D(-3, 3), E(-2, 5), and F(-1, 2)

Therefore, we get;

The length of segment, \overline{AB} = √((9 - 5)² + (3 - 1)²) = 2·√5

The length of segment, \overline{BC} = √((9 - 3)² + (3 - 5)²) = 2·√10

The length of segment, \overline{AC} = √((5 - 3)² + (1 - 5)²) = 2·√5

The length of segment, \overline{DE} = √((5 - 3)² + (-2 - (-3))²) = √5

The length of segment, \overline{EF} = √((2 - 5)² + (-1 - (-2))²) = √10

The length of segment, \overline{DF} = √((2 - 3)² + (-1 - (-3))²) = √5

∴ \overline{AB}/\overline{DE} = 2·√5/(√5) = 2

\overline{BC}/\overline{EF} = 2·√10/(√10) = 2

\overline{AC}/\overline{DF} = 2·√5/(√5) = 2

The ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and therefore;

ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of dilation.

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
