We don’t know which one is the hypotenuse. So if we were to plug it into the Pythagorean theorem, we wouldn’t know where to put it. Two possible answers:

8 squared (copy pasting the symbol here is an inconvenience) + b squared = 10 squared which is 6m after solving.

Or you could say 8 squared + 10 squared = c squared. Solving for C would get us 12.8m as our second possibility.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (1, 3).
shusha [124]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x + 5y = 10 into this form

Subtract x from both sides

5y = - x + 10 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = - \frac{1}{5} x +2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{5}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = - \frac{1}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (1, 3) into the partial equation

3 = - \frac{1}{5} + c ⇒ c = \frac{16}{5}

y = - \frac{1}{5} x + \frac{16}{5} ← equation of parallel line
