The path is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 30 and 120.

30² + 120² = c²

900 + 14400 = c²

15300 = c²

c=√15300 ≈123.7'

instead of walking 30+120=150 feet they save 26.3 feet by taking the shortcut

Find the equation of the line whose x-intercept is 8 and y-intercept is -2. write the equation in slope-intercept form.
goldfiish [28.3K]
Find the slope, m = (change in y) / (change in x)

                     0-(-2)
Here, m = ------------- = 1/4
                     8 - 0
y-k = m(x-h) becomes         y+2 = (1/4)(x), or y = (1/4)x - 2

Then the desired equation is   y = (1/4)x - 2 (slope-intercept form)
