Please help me solve this problem about congruent triangles

Solve the equation by completing the square. x^2+2x=17

Which statements about the system are true? check all that apply. y =1/3 x – 4 3y – x = –7 the system has one solution. the system consists of parallel lines. both lines have the same slope. both lines have the same y–intercept. the equations represent the same line. the lines intersect.

What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point (–1, –8)? a. y+8 = 6 (x+1 )
