Atriangle has a vertical side of 7 and horizontal line of 12. the other triangle has a vertical side of 28 and a horizontal side of 48. will the triangles hypotenuses lie along same line.

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9

all of the measures need to be converted to the same measure; such as inches. if you do that it is easy to determine which is the longest, 2500 mm which is approximately 97.5 inches.
