Hiro is creating a smaller scaled replica of a triangular canvas.
triangles abe and acd on a coordinate plane with point a at 1 comma 0, point c at 2 comma 3 and point d at 5 comma 0, point b is between points a and c and point e is between points a and d
which of the following expressions will him determine the length of segment ab?
a. ac equals ad times ab over ac
b. ab equals ae times ad over ab
c. ab = ad
d. ab = ac

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

the formula of a slope:

we have the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3). substitute:
