ANSWER

A. True

EXPLANATION

Let

(x_1,y_1) = (1,2)



and

(x_2,y_2) = (2,3)


be two points on the straight line.

Then the slope is given by

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


This implies that,

m =  \frac{3 - 2}{2 - 1}  =  \frac{1}{1}  = 1

Let us now choose it the other way round,


(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)
(x_2,y_2) = (1,2)


Then the slope is,

m =  \frac{2 - 3}{1 - 2}  =  \frac{ - 1}{ - 1}  = 1

We still had they same result. Hence it doesn't matter which one you choose to call

(x_1,y_1)
and which to call

(x_2,y_2)

Find X <br><br> Simplify answer type exact number or use radicals as needed
satela [25.4K]
On a right triangle, to find one missing side you can use this equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are the sides next to the right angle, and c is the hypotenuse (side not connected to right angle).

You first need to find the length of the dotted line before finding x. This is because to be able to use the above formula, you have to know the length of two out of three of the sides.

To solve the length of the dotted line, note that it also makes a triangle with the 5 unit line and the 5 √5 unit line. You can plug these numbers into the formula.
(5)^2+b^2=(5 √5)^2
25+b^2=125
b^2=100
b=10

Now that you know the length of the dotted line is 10 units, you can now solve for x

(20)^2+(10)^2=x^2
400+100=x^2
500=x^2
x= √500, which equals 22.361
