Two right triangles are graphed on a coordinate plane. One triangle has a vertical side of 4 and a horizontal side of 10. The other triangle has a vertical side of 12 and a horizontal side of 30.

Could the hypotenuses of these two triangles lie along the same line?

No, because they are not similar triangles
No, because one is larger than the other
Yes, because they are similar triangles
Yes, because they are both right triangles

 Yes, because they are similar triangles
 Yes, because they are both right triangles

C because 4 and 10 were multiplied by 3, making 12 and 30, which makes the triangle 3 times bigger

anonymous · Answer

yeah that makes sense thanks :)

ineedhelpfast12 · Answer

actually, it is D

ineedhelpfast12 · Answer

same reasoning though

anonymous · Answer

i put that and my teacher said it was wrong i think

Can you help with another?

me too, my teacher decided to moves us onto Algebra 1, and sure!

A line passes through (2, 8) and (4, 12). Which equation best represents the line?

 y =  1 over 2 x + 6
 y = 2x + 7
 y = 2x + 4
 y = 1 over 2 x + 10

anonymous · Answer

I can tell, you're smart lol.

ineedhelpfast12 · Answer

thank you!

ineedhelpfast12 · Answer

y=2x+4

anonymous · Answer

Which equation best represents the line? y = 1 over 3. x − 1 y = 3x − 1 y = −x + 1 over 3. y = 3x + 1 http://prntscr.com/6zpncb

ineedhelpfast12 · Answer

y=3x-1

anonymous · Answer

can you explain how you got those

ineedhelpfast12 · Answer

okay. so the line starts at (0,-1), so -1 is the y-intercept. to find the slope, you just go up from (0,-1) to (1,2), so the line went up from 0 to 1, which goes on the bottom, and from -1 to 2, so 3 would be on the top. since there is a 1 on the bottom of the 3, you can just simplify to be 3x

I got it!
