Hi there!

The correct answer is: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing this a right triangle you can solve this problem in two ways

Method One: Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 then plug in the values

(12)^2 + (16)^2 = c^2 this will come out to be 400 = c^2

square root both sides and you get c = 20

Method Two: Pythagorean Identities

if you ever learned the Pythagorean identity 3,4,5

this triangle is indeed a 3,4,5 triangle it's just that each side is multiplied by the factor 4

so in this case since you know the missing side should be 5 you just multiply 5 by 4 and you get 20

Taryn conducted a science experiment on saturation. She added sugar to sugar water solution at different intervals. The graph sh

dusya [7]

Equation of a line:
$y=mx+c$

m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.
$m= \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)

You have:
$y=\textunderscore\textunderscore \ x + \textunderscore$
so you are missing the m and the c.

To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12, 7) and (0, 1)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (12, 7) and (0, 1)- This gives:

$m= \frac{7-1}{12-0}$
$m= \frac{6}{12}$
$m=0.5$

To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:

$c=1$

When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:

$y=0.5x+1$
