Answer:
y = -5/4x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the line we are supposed to find is parallel to y = -5/4x - 5 that means they are going to have the same slope. The line we are looking for is of the following type: y = -5/4 x + b
Since it passes through the point (-8,4):
4 = -5/4 * (-8) + b <=>
4 = -2 + b <=>
4 + 2 = b <=>
b = 6
Hence the line is going to be: y = -5/4x + 6
Answer: 51 uinits
The three numbers are x , x + 21 and x + 27.
The greatest of the 3 numbers is x + 27, so x + 27 has to be the hypotenuse.
----------------------------------------------
Pythagoras Theorem
----------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x+21)² = (x+27)²
x² + x² + 42x + 441 = x² + 54x + 729
x² - 12x -288 = 0
(x - 24)(x + 12) = 0
x = 24 or x = -12 (rejected, length cannot be negative)
----------------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse
----------------------------------------------
Hypotenuse = x + 27 = 24 + 27 = 51 units
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: 51 units
