The value of x is 13, from the values of x the values of a,b and c becomes 5, 12 and 13, which is obtained by using Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

             a = 5

             b = x - 1

             c = x

Step:1

      Pythagorean theorem is,

              a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}................................(1)

      (  It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides )

      From the given values the equation (1) becomes,

                       5^{2} + (x-1) ^{2} = x^{2}

                             ( (a-b)^{2} = a^{2}  + b^{2} -2ab )

               25 + ( x^{2} + 1 - 2x ) = x^{2}

                           25 + 1 -2x = 0               ( ∵ Eliminate x^{2} in both sides)

                                     26 = 2x

                                       x = 13

Step:2

        From the values of x,

                   a = 5

                    b = ( 13 - 1 ) = 12

                   c = 13

Result:

            The value of x is 13, from the values of x the values of a,b and c becomes 5, 12 and 13, which is obtained by using Pythagorean theorem.

10 POINTS IDENTIFY THE SLOPE, Y-INTERCEPT AND GRAPH.<br> 1. Y = 2x + 3<br> 2. Y = 3/4x - 2
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer for problem 1: slope = 2, y intercept = 3

Answer for problem 2: slope = 3/4, y intercept = -2

Explanation:

Both equations are in the form y = mx+b. This is known as slope intercept form. This is because we can read off the values of the slope and y intercept very quickly. We have y = 2x+3 match up with y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So m = 2 and b = 3 for this equation. A similar situation happens with the other equation as well. It might help to rewrite the second equation into y = (3/4)x + (-2).
