Question

PLS HELP! If Cyrus knows that △ABC∼△EDC and AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∥ED¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, how can he prove that line m passing through AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has the same slope as line l passing through ED¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯?

Answer 1

Answer:

AB and DE are parallel because they have the same slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the line AB :

$=\frac{\text{rise} }{\text{run} } =\frac{CA}{-BC} =\frac{12}{-8} =-\frac{3}{2}$

Slope of the line DE :

$=\frac{\text{rise} }{\text{run} } =\frac{CE}{-DC} =\frac{9}{-6} =-\frac{3}{2}$
