Question

HELP
Given S(0, -5), T(-6,0), U(-3,1),
and V (-9, y). Find y such that
ST lI UV.

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Explanation:

The slope of ST is

`(-5-0)/(0-(-6))=-(5)/(6)`

The slope of UV is

`(y-1)/(-9-(-3))=(y-1)/(-6)`
Since parallel segments have the same slope,

`-(5)/(6)=-(y-1)/(6)\\\\5=y-1\\\\y=6`
