This is very easy!! I have attached a picture I have drawn if you are a visual learner... well, everything else like computations is here.
.
This is the PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM!!
.
If you don't know, it says that the lengths of the legs squared added together all equal the hypotenuse squared in a right triangle!!
.
And if you want to know why the "triangle" has a right angle... well, are towers slanted? I mean, other than the Leaning Tower of Pizza. I mean Pisa.
.
So... we plug it in!!
.
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
.
Plug it in: 11^2+ 61^2 = c^2
.
c^2 = 3842.
.
So now what?
.
SQUARE ROOT OF EVERYTHING!!
.
c = <span>√3842.
.
So? c = approximately 61.984.
.
Hope I helped!!</span>
Answer:
y = 1/4x - 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, we have to use point-slope form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitute the numbers into the variables:
y - (-4) = 1/4(x - (-2))
y + 4 = 1/4(x + 2)
y + 4 = 1/4x + 1/2
y = 1/4x - 7/2
To verify your answer, simply substitute the values into your equation:
-4 = 1/4(-2) - 7/2
-4 = -1/2 - 7/2
-4 = -8/2
-4 = -4
Y=-11 is the answer because if you replace the x for -3 then square it like it says, then it world be y=-6-5 , so therefore the answer would be y=-11
