Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must know the format of point-slope form.
This would be:
Given x = 2, y = -10, and that our slope MUST be -3
Lets solve for "b" in the slope-intercept form using the variables provided to us. Remember that slope-intercept form is: where "m" is the slope.
-10 = -3(2) + b
-10 = -6 + b
-4 = b
Congrats! We now have our b variable, which means we can write out our slope-intercept form for our equation. This would be:
We aren't done though, we now must convert this into point-slope form! Remember that x = 2 and y = -10
Lets plug in -3 for the "m" spot, -10 for the "y1" spot, and 2 for the "x1" spot in the point-slope equation.
(Why are we adding 10 instead of subtracting you might ask? Remeber that two negatives equal a positive; when we plugged in -10 into the "y1" spot it was already negative, it would essentially be this: which turns into a positive!)
Huzzah! We now have our equation in point-slope form which is equivalent to:

The correct pair is option E, which is:
FH ≅ FH - reflexive property
ΔGFH ≅ ΔEFH - SAS theorem
<h3>What is the SAS Congruence Theorem?</h3>The SAS theorems states that two triangles are congruent if they have two pairs of congruent sides and a pair of congruent included angles.
<h3>What is the Reflexive Property?</h3>The reflexive property of geometry states that an angle or line will always be congruent to itself.
In the two column-proof, since FH = FH using the reflexive property, then both triangles are congruent to each other by the SAS congruence theorem.
The missing pair of reasons that completes the proof are:
FH ≅ FH - reflexive property
ΔGFH ≅ ΔEFH - SAS theorem
