Question

Drag each number to the correct location on the equation. Not all numbers will be used.

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the hypotenuse line is y = -3·x + 9

Therefore, the correct options are -3 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to fill the boxes

y = _ x + _

We note that the equation is that of a straight line of the form;

y = m·x + c

Where:

m = Slope of the straight line graph and

c = Y intercept, that is the y-coordinate of the point on the line where x = 0

From the graph, we find the slope as follows;

$Slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \frac{(-9) -0}{6-3} = -3$

Therefore, m = -3

The y intercept is found by extending the hypotenuse line to the point where it touches the y axes that is at x = 0;

From the graph, it is observed that the line, when extended, touches the y axes at the point y = 9, therefore, c = 9

Hence we have, the equation of the hypotenuse line is y = -3·x + 9.
