Which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line whose equation is y = - 3x ? A. 1/3 x + y = 4

B. - 1/3 x + y = 4

C. 6x + 2y = 4

D. - 6x + 2y = 4

i found two solutions,   n = 2 • ± √3 = ± 3.4641

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
