Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form => Y = mx + b
find m... the slope by using any two points on the line
p1 = (0,5) by inspection
p2=(4,6) by inspection
find m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
m = 6 - 5 / 4 - 0
m =1 / 4
then use the slope intercept formula
y = 1/4x + 5 for your answer. we know b = 5 b/c thats where the line crosses the y axis.
y = 
x + 5 is the answer
This creates a right triangle. One leg of the triangle is 25 feet and the other is 10 feet. To find the length of the ladder, we must use Pythagorean theorem.
a = 25
b = 10
c = ?
(25)^2 + (10)^2 = c^2. Square all the terms to the left of the equation and add them together.
725 = c^2. Take the square root of each side.
c = 26.93 feet.
The ladder needs to be 26.93 feet tall.
