ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.
First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:
y-y=m(x-x)
The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9
Plug it in:
8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2
*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)
Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b
y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)
8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.
Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.
m=-3/2
b=31/2
We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)
SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2
Hope you understand this, feel free to ask me anything!
When it comes to hundreds and thousands and even millions, you can tell how much bigger something is by how many more zeros are at the end. Each new zero added, is another rank up. The system goes:
1=10x bigger
2=100x bigger
3=1000x bigger
4=10000x bigger
5=100000 bigger
so on and so forth. There are 2 zeros in 700, and only 1 zero in 70, the difference in zeros is 1, so you can refer to the chart and conclude that 700 is 10 times bigger than 70. You could also divide 700 by 70 to get 10. This is more accurate, but the chart is simpler.

Answer:
B 10.8 or
A 9.2 depending on what side of the triangle is "x".
Step-by-step explanation:
we cannot see the triangle and which side is which. you forgot to show us the picture (or describe it in more detail).
but I assume that "x" would be the Hypotenuse (the baseline of the right triangle, the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).
then by using Pythagoras
c² = a² + b²
=>
x² = 10² + 4² = 116
x = sqrt(116) = 10.8
but if x is any of the other sides (and not the Hypotenuse), then you need to adapt the calculation.
for example, if the Hypotenuse is the side with 10, then Pythagoras' formula would look like this
10² = x² + 4²
x² = 10² - 4² = 84
x = sqrt(84) = 9.2 (and answer A would be correct).
or if the Hypotenuse is the side with 4, then
4² = x² + 10²
x² = 4² - 10² = -84
x = sqrt(-84)
and that did not make any sense for real distances. so, this configuration is actually impossible for a right triangle.
