Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

When two triangles are similar, all of their corresponding angles are the same, as well as a constant ratio of side lengths. This means that the quotient of the length of one of the triangles sides to the length of the other triangle's corresponding sides is the exact same as the quotient between any other pair of corresponding sides on the two triangles.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Two figures that have the same shape are said to be similar. When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles below are similar, compare their corresponding sides.

I found a similar problem to your problem here, which is shown in the attached picture. So, from the picture, we have to find the equation for the red line. All we have to do is find two points of the line. That would be: Point 1(2,0) and Point 2(-2,3). The general equation would be:

y - y₁ = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) * (x - x₁)

Substituting the coordinates to the equation,

y - 0 = (3-0)/(-2 - 2) * (x - 2)
y = -3(x -2)/4
Rearranging,
<em>4y = -3x + 6 or 4y + 3x = 6</em>
