Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The three pieces of fencing he has to use are 8 feet, 15 feet, and 20 feet long. For him to be able to make a right triangle with his fence, the length of the sides must form a Pythagoras triple. To determine if the lengths make a Pythagoras triple, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent².

Therefore

20² = 8² + 15²

400 = 64 + 225 = 289

Since they are not equal, it means that they do not form Pythagoras theorem, thus,.

He will not be able to make a right triangle with his fence.

Y=mx+b (-6,-3) and (0,9)
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

y = 2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 9)

m = \frac{9+3}{0+6} = \frac{12}{6} = 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 9) ⇒ b = 9

y = 2x + 9 ← equation of line
