Question

two right triangles are graphed on a coordinate plane one triangle has a vertical side of Brie and a horizontal side of seven the other triangle has a vertical side of 9 and a horizontal side of 21 cuz the hypotenuse is of these two triangles lie along the same line

Answer 1

For the first right triangle

the points of the hypotenuse

(0,3)=(x1,y1)

(7,0)=(x2,y2)

the slope of the hypotenuse is

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(0-3)/(7-0)=(-3)/(7)=-(3)/(7)`

and the equation of the hypotenuse

`y=-(3)/(7)x+3`

For the second triangle

The points of the hypotenuse

(0,9)

(21,0)

`m=(0-9)/(21-0)=(-9)/(21)=-(3)/(7)`

and the equation of the hypotenuse

`y=-(3)/(7)x+9`

The equations are not equal but they have the same slope, which indicates that the equations are parallels.

The answer is

No, because one is larger than the other
