Based on the SAS similarity theorem, both triangles are similar.

Similarity statement is: ΔSTV ~ ΔPQR by SAS Similarity Theorem.

<h3>What are Similar Polygons?</h3>

Similar Polygons have different size but the same shape, and as such, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths are equal, while their corresponding angles are congruent.

Based on the SAS similarity theorem, two triangles are similar to each other if they have two pairs of corresponding sides that are proportional and an included pair of angles that are congruent.

In ΔSTV and ΔPQR:

m∠S ≅ m∠P = 86° (one pair of included congruent angles)

ST/PQ = SV/PR = 0.67 (proportional sides).

Therefore, based on the SAS similarity theorem, both triangles are similar.

Answer:

Question 4: $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5: $y=-5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Question 4

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that pass through the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

In the graph, two easy-to-identify points on the line are (-5,4) and (5,-4). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5-(-5)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5+5}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-8}{10}\\\\\displaystyle m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ as the slope (m):

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is 0. Plug this into $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+0\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Two easy-to-identify points are (-1,2) and (0,-3). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0+1}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{1}\\\\m=-5$

Therefore, the slope is -5. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-5x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-3). The y-coordinate of this point is -3. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is -3. Plug this into $y=-5x+b$ :

$y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3$

I hope this helps!

Answer:I think 11

Step-by-step explanation: 11 because one can do no more than 11 packages so the most potential one most be 11 since it can't do 18 but the 18 can do 11 and the max of the other one is 11
