Which shows how to use similar right triangles to find the equation of the

First Option

Triangles are are similar if we can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling. To solve this problem, we just need to match the ratios of the triangles. For both triangles we need to take the Change in y over the change in x, so:

As you can see, this is the Slope-Intercept form of the equation of a line, where:

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.
