Answer:

7 units long

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right triangle ABC

  • AB = 25 units
  • BC = 24 units

We are required to determine the length of AC

  • We are going to use the Pythagoras theorem;
  • According to the theorem, if a and b are the legs of a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse, then;

a² + b² = c²

In this case;

AB is the hypotenuse and BC is one of the legs of the triangle;

Therefore;

AB² = BC²+AC²

Rearranging the formula;

AC² = AB² - BC²

       = 25² - 24²

       = 625 - 576

       = 49

AC = √49

     = 7

Thus, AC is 7 units long

Find the slope between the following coordinates. (6,4)&(6,-2)​
Grace [21]

Answer:

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 2 )

m = \frac{-2-4}{6-6} = \frac{-6}{0}

division by zero is undefined, therefore the slope of the vertical line is undefined.
