about the second one... well, is a "fait accompli" that using the pythagorean theorem, if x = 8 and y = 5, the hypotenuse must be √(8² + 5²) = √(89), which is neither of those choices.
5, 8, 13 are no dice, namely 5² + 8² ≠ 13
25, 64, 17 is are no dice too, because 25² + 17² ≠ 64²
however, 5,12 and 13 are indeed a pythagorean triple
also is 39, 80, 89.
when looking for a pythagorean triple, recall that c² = a² + b².
so the longest leg is the sum of the square of the small ones.
so what you'd do is, check the small legs, square them, add them up, if they're indeed a pythagorean triple, they "must" add up to the longest leg.
Maybe 38/10. Transforming it into fractions, then in tenths

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of the line</u>
Lines can be expressed in several forms. The slope-intercept form of the line is:
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope of the line and m is the y-intercept.
If the line is perpendicular to the y-axis, then it's a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have slope m=0, thus, the equation is:
y = b
To find the value of b, just substitute the given point:
-5=b
The equation of the line is:
y=-5
The growth is decaying, the original value is 500 and the common multiplier is 5, 500 divided by 5 turns to 100. 100/5=20. 20/5=4. x/5 or 1/5 if it has to be in a fraction format
