We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse 

x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x 

x^2+36=100 Square each individual term 

x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides 

x^2=64 Combine like terms 

sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides 

x = 8 Simplify the square root 

So our answer is x = 8 
The ladder touches the 8 feet mark on the wall.

Answer:

y= 4x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope. We can do this by using the formula:

1) y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

2) 9-5/5-3

3) 4/2

4) The slope is 2

Next, we have to first plug the slope (2) and one of the coordinate pairs (I chose (3,5)) into point-slope format.

5) y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

6) y-5 =4(x-3)

7) Now we just simplify this equation to make it slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

8) y-5= 4x-12

9) y=4x-7

And there you have it :)

Answer:

n = 7

n = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

4n+6 = n²-15

4n = n² - 21

n² - 4n - 21 = 0

(n-7)(n+3) = 0

n = 7

n = -3
