If a ship's path is mapped on a coordinate grid, it follows a straight-line path of slope 4 and passes through point (1, 2).

A.
Using the point-slope form:
y - 2 = 4(x - 1)
y = 4x - 2

B.
We plug the point into the equation to see if it is satisfied:
24 = 4(7) - 2
24 = 26; This is not true so the point is not on the ship's path

C.
The slope of this ship's motion is -1/4, which is the negative reciprocal of the first ship's slope. Therefore, the ships are moving in perpendicular to one another.

A triangle has side lengths 11, 12, and 15. Is it acute, obtuse, or right?

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

because 15 would be the base so 11 and 12 would be the sides and fot the triangle to be acute or obtuse the total of the sides (11+12) has to be lass than the base (15), but it is more 23 so it has to be a right triangle.
