The ladder touches the deck at 8 feet high.

Given:
distance of the bottom of the ladder from the deck: 6 feet
length of the ladder: 10 feet

Find the height where the top of the ladder touches the deck.

We can visual that a right angle triangle is formed between the ladder, the deck, and the ground.

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse. The length from the deck to the bottom of the ladder is the measurement of one side.

Using the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c² ; we can find the measurement of the other side.
a = 6 ft ; b = unknown ; c = 10 ft

6² + b² = 10²
b² = 10² - 6²
b² = 100 - 36
b² = 64
b = √64
b = 8 feet.

Graph the line with slope −1/2 and y-intercept −5.
Allushta [10]

First, we can write the equation of the line using the information provided:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ where: \\ m=slope=-\frac{1}{2} \\ b=y-intercept=-5 \\ so: \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-5 \end{gathered}

Now, we can create a table:

Finally, we can graph the line:
