Angles formed by the segment in the triangles ΔWXZ, and ΔXYZ, are equal and the given corresponding sides are proportional.
- The option that best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>
Reasons:
The proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is presented as follows;
Segment is perpendicular to segment
∠WZX and ∠XZY are right angles by definition of perpendicular to
∠WZX in ΔWXZ = ∠XZY in ΔXYZ = 90° (definition)
Therefore;
, which gives,
Given that two sides of ΔWXZ are proportional to two sides of ΔXYZ, and
that the included angles between the two sides, ∠WZX and ∠XZY are
congruent, the two triangles, ΔWXZ and ΔXYZ are similar by Side-Angle-
Side, SAS, similarity postulate.
The option that best completes the proof is therefore;

Solution:
we have been asked to find
Which equation represents the graphed function?
As we can see in the graph, the line is passing through the point (2,0) and (0,-3).
As we know the equation of the passing through two points is given by the formula
So the equation of the line will be
