Answer:

The hypotenuse is 26

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

10^2 +24^2 = c^2

100 +576 = c^2

676 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt676 = c

Answer:

26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to plug in the values and solve the equation.

24^2+10^2=c^2

576+100=c^2

(sqrt)676=c^2(sqrt)

26=c

c=26

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the table? X -1, -1/2, 0, 1/2 Y -3/2, 0. 3/

JulijaS [17]

Answer: Slope: 3, Y-intercept: 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x y

-1 -3/2

-1/2 0

0 3/2

1/2 3

Since we are given an x,y table, we can easily spot the y-intercept. The y-intercept has the x value of 0. Therefore, the y-intercept is 3/2.

Now, we can use the formula $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$ to find the slope.

$m=\frac{\frac{3}{2} -0}{0-(-\frac{1}{2})}$

$m=\frac{\frac{3}{2} }{\frac{1}{2} } =\frac{3}{2} *2=3$

Slope: 3

Y-intercept: 3/2
