The general formula for the sides of right triangle is
a² + b² = c²

Subtitute the equation of a and b to the formula a² + b², evaluate if the answer will be the same as the equation of c²

a² + b²
= (m² - n²)² + (2mn)²
= (m² - n²)(m² - n²) + (2mn)(2mn)
= (m⁴ - 2m²n² + n⁴) + 4m²n²
= m⁴ + 2m²n² + n⁴

Factorize the result
m⁴ + 2m²n² + n⁴
= (m² + n²)(m² + n²)
= (m² + n²)²
= c²

It's proven by the formula that c² = (m² + n²)²
so the c will be m² + n²

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of x - 6y = 16. State your answers as
Nataly_w [17]
The x-int is (16,0)

you plug in 0 for y and solve

x-6(0)=16

x=16

the y-int is (0, -8/3)

you plug in 0 for x and solve

0-6y=16

y= -16/6

simplify by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2

y= -8/3
