Solve the equation from Part C so that y is by itself on one side of the equation. How are this equation and the equation of the line related? What does this relationship mean about any triangle created using this line?


Part C ---- For similar triangles, the side lengths are proportional. So, you can write a proportion relating the two pairs of vertical and horizontal side lengths. For the line y = 2x, a triangle can be drawn 2 units up and 1 unit right from the origin.



Write a proportion relating the side lengths of the triangle to any other triangle that has the line as a hypotenuse, a horizontal length of x units, and a vertical length of y units.

Answer 1

This is my answer,

Explanation:

The equation is y=2x, and the horizontal line will always be half of the vertical line (1:2). We can prove this by plugging in y or x. For example, if y is 12, 12=2x. X would equal six.
