Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given P( -12 , -7 ) and Q( -8 , -4)</h3>

Now the mid point of PQ

(x, y) = { (-12-8)/2 , (-7-4)/2}

= (-20/2 , -11/2)

= ( -10 , -11/2 )

I need help with pythagoras’ theorem

fomenos

Answer:

Pythagoras’ theorem is a way to find a side or hypothesis when you have 2 sides.

The formula is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are sides

c is the hypothesis

Ex: A triangle has a leg that is 5 inches and a leg that is 7 inches. Find the hypothesis using Pythagoras' theorem.

A leg is another way of saying a side.

5^2 + 7^2 = c^2

25 + 49 = x^2

sqrt(74) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(74) inches = hypothesis

Ex: A triangle has a leg that is 9 feet and a hypothesis that is 25 feet. Find the other leg using Pythagoras' theorem.

9^2 + b^2 = 25^2

81 + b^2 - 81 = 625 - 81

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(544)

b = sqrt(554)

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Slope is $2$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Notice that both the points, $(60,0)$ and $(70,20)$ , are on the line. So we can use those points to calculate the slope. Recall that that slope of the line $m$ can be calculated by $\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\$ if we have the points, $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ .
