Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: The proportion that can be written is 9 over 1.5 equals 12 over 2.
If you look in the diagram, you will see that they 1.5 is right below the 9 and the 2 is right below the 12.
If you put those values in a proportion, you can cross multiply and divide to see that they are in proportion. Since they are in proportion, the two lines are also parallel.
