How do you find the base of this triangle? (Picture should be able to be seen)

The idea being, when you run a perpendicular line to the base, from the right-angle in a right-triangle, like in this case, what you end up with is, three similar triangles, a Large triangle containing the two smaller ones, a Medium triangle and a Small one, check the picture below.

since all three are similar, we can use the proportions on the corresponding sides, as you see in the picture, the base of the triangle then will just be x + y.

Bond [772]

if those are fractions being five and two thirds etc... I believe it would be 17/6. if you convert to improper fractions and then get a common denominator to subtract that should do it. Hope that helps.

What is the equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = 4x – 14 that contains P(–2, –6)?
lord [1]
Point t slope form:
y + y value = m (x + x value) where m is the gradient
Parallel line must have the same gradient as the two lines never meet, so the gradient must be 4. This eliminates option B and D.
Remember that point-slope form is still an equation, so the values of both sides must be equal. So let's substitute the given coordinates.
Option A:
y-6=4(x+2)
-6-6 (-12) does not equal to 4(-2+2) (0)
Option C:
y+6=4(-2+2)
-6+6 (0) = 4(-2+2) (0)
Therefore, option C is your answer.
