Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the Pythagorean theorem to answer this question.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

15^2 + 8^2 = c^2

225 + 64 = c^2

289=c^2

c^2=289

c=√289

c=17 feet

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=−3/4x+6 and passes through the point (3, 9) ?

Arisa [49]

Answer:

y=4/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular means the slope will be the negative reciprocal.

So the slope=4/3

y=4/3x+b

Now, enter the point (3,9) into the equation.

9=4/3(3)+b

9=4+b

b=9-4

b=5
