To prove a similarity of a triangle, we use angles or sides.
In this case we use angles to prove
∠ACB = ∠AED (Corresponding ∠s)
∠AED = ∠FDE (Alternate ∠s)
∠ABC = ∠ADE (Corresponding ∠s)
∠ADE = ∠FED (Alternate ∠s)
∠BAC = ∠EFD (sum of ∠s in a triangle)
Now we know the similarity in the triangles.
But it is necessary to write the similar triangle according to how the question ask.
The question asks " ∆ABC is similar to ∆____. " So we find ∠ABC in the prove.
∠ABC corressponds to ∠FED as stated above.
∴ ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED
Similarly, if the question asks " ∆ACB is similar to ∆____. "
We answer as ∆ACB is similar to ∆FDE.
Answer is ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED.
Answer:
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal. Therefore, the line we are looking for has a -3 slope.
y= -3x+b
Now, we can substitute in the point given to find the intercept.
2= -3(4)+b
2= -12+b
b=14
Finally, put in everything we've found to finish the equation.
y= -3x+14
Answer:
There is no equal sign.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no equal sign to make it an algebraic equation.
Answer: all points
that satisfy
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is

So, substituting into point-slope form, the equation is

Therefore, all points
that satisfy
will lie on the same line.
