Hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
hyp^2 -leg1^2 = leg2^2
17^2 - 8^2 = leg2^2
leg2^2 = 289 -64
leg2^2 = 225
leg2 = 15

What is the equation of this line

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form to write the equation if the line of the graph given.

$y = mx + b$ , where,

b = y-intercept, which is where the line cuts across the y-axis = 4.

m = slope = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 - 4}{3 - 0} = \frac{-4}{3}$

Substitute m = ⁴/3 and b = 4, into the slope-intercept formula to get the equation of the line:

$y = mx + b$

$y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 4$
