# Lesson 5Congruent Triangles to the RescuePractice Understanding

For problems 1–3, do the following:

• Describe the transformation,

• Write the equations of the lines, and

• Label the lines on the graph as image and pre-image.

### 1.

### 4.

Referring back to the graph in problem 3, write an equation for a line with the same slope that goes through the origin.

### 5.

Referring back to the graph in problem 3, write the equation of a line perpendicular to both lines through the point .

### 6.

Create the explicit equation for each of the tables of values.

### 7.

Look closely at the tables of values in problem 6; the input values are the same, and the output values are mostly alike but seem to be moved up or down in the output column. Without actually graphing the functions, explain how the graphs would compare to one another.

## Set

### 8.

The diagram shows two overlapping triangles, and . Draw each triangle separately, and label the congruent parts.

### 9.

Add a line to the given diagram to create triangles that can be used for reasoning about the figure.

For each of the following problems, there are some true statements listed. From these statements, a conjecture (a conclusion) about what might be true has been made. Use the true statements and the diagrams to create an argument to justify each conjecture.
