Answer:
Horizontal lines have a slope of 0. Thus, in the slope-intercept equation y = mx + b, m = 0. The equation becomes y = b, where b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are infinitely many ways to do this. One such way is to draw a very thin stretched out rectangle (say one that is very tall) and a square. Example: the rectangle is 100 by 2, while the square is 4 by 4.
Both the rectangle and the square have the same corresponding angle measures. All angles are 90 degrees.
However, the figures are not similar. You cannot scale the rectangle to have it line up with the square. The proportions of the sides do not lead to the same ratio
100/4 = 25
2/4 = 0.5
so 100/4 = 2/4 is not a true equation. This numerically proves the figures are not similar.
side note: if you are working with triangles, then all you need are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles. If you have more than three sides for the polygon, then you'll need to confirm the sides are in proportion along with the angles being congruent as well.

Answer:
y = 4/3x - 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 12
4y = -3x + 12
y = -3/4x + 3
If a line is perpendicular to another, the line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the other line. Since the given line has a slope of -3/4, the line perpendicular to that line will have a slope of 4/3.
So far, for the equation of the line, we have an equation of y = 4/3x + b.
To find b, simply substitute the coordinates (6, -2) for x and y.
-2 = 4/3(6) + b
b + 4/3(6) = -2
b + 8 = -2
b = -10
So, the equation of the line will be y = 4/3x - 10.
Check your work...
-2 = (4/3)(6) - 10
-2 = 8 - 10
-2 = -2
Hope this helps!
