Answer:
Yes, it will fit snugly in a 90º corner
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, we simply need to check if the given sides of the shelf is right-angled.
So, we have:
To check for right-angle triangle, we make use of:
This gives:
This shows that the given sides of the shelf is a right-angled triangle.
Hence, it will fit the wall
=====================================================
Parallel lines have the same slope.
So if the given line has a slope of 3, then the line parallel to it has the same slope (3)
Now, let's write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form.
Remember, point-slope form looks like so:-
Where
y₁ is the y-coordinate of the point that the line passes through
m is the slope
x₁ is the x-coordinate of the point that the line passes through
In this case,
y₁ is equal to -8
m is equal to 3
x₁ is equal to 1
Plug in the values:
Simplify:
and we're done!
