Answer:a=3.6 and b=4.8

Step-by-step explanation:(a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)

Where c is hypotenuse is equal to 6. A right triangle is also known as a 3,4,5 triangle where the 2 legs are 3 and 4 and hypotenuse is 5. Find the factor in size difference by dividing your hypotenuse of 6 by the hypotenuse of 5 you get 1.2. Now multiply the 3 and 4 by 1 2 to get your answers of 3.6 and 4.8.

To check work simply plug in your legs as a and b

(3.6^2)+(4.8^2)=(6^2)

(12.96)+(23.04)=(36)

Let's prove each one:
A) y=x-3
x=0→y=0-3→y=-3=-3 ok
x=2→y=2-3→y=-1 different to 5 No

B) y=x+3
x=0→y=0+3→y=3 different to -3 No

C) y=4x-3
x=0→y=4(0)-3=0-3→y=-3=-3 ok
x=2→y=4(2)-3=8-3→y=5=5 ok
x=3→y=4(3)-3=12-3→y=9=9 ok
x=4→y=4(4)-3=16-3→y=13=13 ok

D) y=4x+3
x=0→y=4(0)+3=0+3→y=3 different to -3 No

Answer: Option C) y=4x-3
