If these two lines are parallel, they would have the same gradient.
Since Gradient = Rise / Run,
8 / -12 : -4 / 1
These two ratios are obviously not the same, so we can conclude the lines are not parallel.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
each part makes how you can show by what to do on mathematics by fractions and unit fractions with multiplication.
There are several conditions where triangles can be proved similar:
AA - where two of the angles are same.
SAS - where two sides of a triangle compare to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal.
SSS - Where all sides in a triangle and the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.
In the case above, we can only use the method of SAS, as only two sides of the triangles are given.
<HMG = <JMK (vertically opposite angles)
HM/MK = 8/12 = 2/3
GM/MJ = 6/9 = 2/3
As the two sides of a triangle comparing to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal, the above triangles are similar, with the prove of SAS.
Therefore, the answer is C.yes by SAS.
Hope it helps!
