Y=-.5x+15 plug in 8 for x and you get 11

Slope of (-20,9) (14,9)

skelet666 [1.2K]

Y2-y1/x2-x1 is slope so

9-9/14-(-20) so you get 0/34 which means there is no slope since they have the same y (the equation would be y=0x+9 therefore y=9)
Which makes sense since the equation is a straight line

How do i solve this?

shusha [124]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Pythagoras Theorem,

$8^{2} + y^{2} = (8\sqrt{6} )^{2} \\ y^{2} = (8\sqrt{6} )^{2} - 8^{2} \\y^{2} = 384 - 64\\y^{2} = 320\\y = \sqrt{320}$

∴ $y = 8\sqrt{5}$

Hope that helps!!

Sebastian wants to create a right triangle with side lengths 14 inches, 48 inches, and 5

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: Choice A

$\text{Yes, because } 14^2+48^2 \text{ is equal to } 50^2$

=======================================================

Explanation:

The pythagorean theorem is $a^2+b^2 = c^2$

The value of c is always the longest side, aka hypotenuse.

The order of 'a' and b doesn't matter.

So a = 14, b = 48, c = 50

We have $a^2+b^2 = 14^2+48^2 = 196+2304 = 2500$

We also have $c^2 = 50^2 = 2500$

Both sides result in 2500 which proves that $14^2+48^2 = 50^2$ is a true statement. Therefore, we do have a right triangle.
