Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

$15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2.$

I found this out by doing:

15 x 15 = 225

8 x 8 = 64

225 + 64 = 289

$\sqrt{289} = 17$

Hope this helps you! :)

PLZZZZ HELP What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation is 3y=−4x+2 ?

earnstyle [38]

$\bf 3y=-4x+2\implies y=\cfrac{-4x+2}{3} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{slope}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}x+\cfrac{2}{3}\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so the slope of that line above is really -4/3, now

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{3}{4}\implies \blacktriangleright \cfrac{3}{4} \blacktriangleleft}}$

Eddie is practicing wind sprints during his summer break. He’s able to run 72 meters in 12 seconds. If d represents distance and

AnnZ [28]

D is distance which is 72 meters
time represents seconds which is 12
so ratio is 12:72
reduce to get 1:6
time over distance would be 1/6
every second Eddie runs 6 meters
so t= d/6
or 6t=d
