We can draw this as:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the cable, as it is the hypotenuse of a right triangle:

\begin{gathered} c^2=7^2+8^2 \\ c^2=49+64 \\ c^2=113 \\ c=\sqrt[]{113} \\ c\approx10.63 \end{gathered}

Answer: the cable length is 10.63 m.

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate: R(0,_), S(-4,2) m=5
Delicious77 [7]

Answer

The missing value is 22

step-by-step explanation

The slope formula is

m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

From the question,

m=5

x_2=-4

y_2=2

and

x_1=0

We substitute these values to get,

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4- 0}

Simplify

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4}

5 \times  - 4=2 - y_1

- 20=2 - y_1

- 20 - 2=- y_1

22= y_1

y_1 = 22

The missing value is 22
