Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the y-values corresponding to x-values of 0 and 1, then plot those points and draw a line through them.
For x=0, ...
y = -4·0 -1 = -1 . . . . the point is (0, -1) . . . the y-intercept
For x=1, ...
y = -4·1 -1 = -5 . . . . the point is (1, -5)
The attached graph shows these points and the line through them.
Answer:
Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft
The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft
The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, the shape of the pool is right triangle.
Let the leg side along the wall to be the x ft
Let the other leg side to be 7+x ft
Let the longest side/hypotenuse to be x+9 ft
Apply the Pythagorean relationship where the sum of squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse
This means;
Expand the terms in brackets
collect like terms
solve for x in the quadratic equation by factorization
Taking the positive value of x;
x=8ft
Finding the lengths
Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft
The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft
The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft
