Hey there!!
What is slope-intercept form :
... y = mx + b
( a ) Given :
... ( 2 , -2 ) and slope=1.4
... y = mx + b
... -2 = 2×1.4 + b
... -2 = 2.8 + b
... -4.8 = b
The slope-intercept form :
... y = 1.4x - 4.8
( b ) Given :
... ( -1 , 4 ) and slope = -3.
y = mx + b
... 4 = -3×-1 + b
... 4 = 3 + b
... 1 = b
The slope-intercept form :
... y = -3x + 1
Note :
( m = slope and b = y-intercept )
Hope my answer helps!!
Lets see!
We need to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to check.
So..
15^2+ 17^2 = 19^2
225+ 289= 361
Hm 225 and 289 do NOT equal 361 therefore it is NOT a right triangle.
I think 4 divided by 8/9 - 1/2 = 4
