Answer:

The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean theorem is used to solve for the length of the hypotenuse. If a right triangle has legs measuring a and b with hypotenuse c, the Pythagorean theorem is a² + b² = c². Solving for c is as simple as taking the square root of both sides of the equation.

One form of the relation of inverse variation is y = k/x.

first step: Find the value of k: Taking the values x=5 and y = 4, 4=k/5, or k=20. Then, y = 20/x.

Next: Let y = 7 and find the corresp. value of x: 7=20/x, or 7x=20, or

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1)

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the other line, meaning if the slope of the other line is $-\frac{1}{3}$ , then the slope of the line perpendicular is $3$ .
