Answer:

y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of triangle ABC that is perpendicular to EF is BC.

Line BC passes through (1,2) and (4,5).

The slope of BC is

[tex]\frac{5-2}{4-1}=1[/tex]

Since the y-intercept is 1, the equation is y = x + 1.

The equation of the line is given by [tex]y=x+1[/tex]

it is given that [tex]\Delta ABC[/tex] is a right angled tringle with side BC id perpendicular to side EF of [tex]\Delta DE F[/tex].

What is slope-intercept form of equation of line ?

slope-intercept of the line is [tex]y=mx+c[/tex] where,

m is the slope of line,

and c is the y-intercept

Now, first calculating the slope m of of line passing through points (1,2) and (4,5) :

[tex]\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\&=\frac{5-2}{4-1}\\&=1\end{aligned}[/tex]

Calculating, y-intercept c by substituting (1,2) in equation [tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}y&=mx+c\\2&=1+c\\c&=1\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of line passing through point (1,2) and (4,5) in slope-intercept form is given by :

[tex]\begin{aligned}y&=mx+c\\y&=x+1\end{aligned}[/tex]
