I don't know what the "lowest y-intercept means" so if you can reiterate and clarify I'd appreciate it, but if you understand what you're looking for then I assume that a graph would be helpful. An online useful graphing site I like is desmos. Hope I helped.
you'd use the pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
a is the first leg, b is the second leg, and c is the third leg.
10^2+13^2=c^2
100+169=c^2
269=c^2
take the square root of both sides
16.4=c
16.4cm is your answer!
Think about it, 64 band members split equally into 8 rows. Sounds like division, right? If we're going to split them into each row, that would be eight members for each of the eight rows.
So the answer is that 8 members was in each row.
