Answer:
x = 6.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 given squares are the on the legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse x
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 legs , then
x² = 13 + 29.25 = 42.25 ( take square root of both sides )
x = 
= 6.5 units
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want a line parallel to 3x − 4y = 7. Any such line will have an equation of the same form but a different constant.
If the new line is to pass through the point (-4, -2), replace x with -4 and y with -2. We obtain:
3(-4) − 4(-2) = -12 + 8 = -4. Thus, the desired new equation is 3x − 4y = -4.
This could also be written as 3x − 4y + 4 = 0. We could also solve this for y, obtaining:
3x + 4 = 4y, or y = (3/4)x + 1.
