Answer:

10 units.

2√7 units.

- (or 5.29 units to the nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the 2 sides are legs of the triangle ( that is they are at 90 degrees to each other) the third side, by Pythagoras  theorem:

=  √(6^2 + 8^2)

=  √100

= 10 units.

The other possibility is that 8 is the length of the hypotenuse, in which case

The third side

=  √(8^2 - 6^2)

=  √28

= 2√7 units.

Describe in words how to graph the line y=-2/3 + 2
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

Based off the problem we can tell that the slope is -2/3 and the y intercept is 2. This means we must start our line at the point (0,2). Since slope is in the form rise/run, we know that we must go UP 2 units for every 3 units we go LEFT! We know to go left (As x goes to positive infinity, y goes to negative infinity. ) because the slope is negative!

Hope this helps
