You would need to use the pythagorean theorum which is would be 8 squared +x squared = 15 squared
The slope is

and the y intercept is -1
so the equation is y =

x-1
I believe what you are wanting is f(x)= x+5.
Answer:
1.= 2.4 Hours
2.= 8 miles per hour
3.= 150 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The temperature was -14°F at 8 a.m.
At noon is was 10 degrees warmer - the temperature increase was 10°F
-14°F + 10°F = -4°F
The tempertaure increase between noon and 4 p.m. was twice the previous increase in temperature, which was 10°F.
10°F x 2 = 20°F
We want to know the temperature at 4 p.m. so we just add it up to the previous result.
-4°F + 20°F = 16°F
16°F is the correct answer
