This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2
144 + 25 = 169
The square root of 169 = 13
Answer - 13 ft
Answer:
y = -2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite y + 7 = -2(x - 3) in slope-intercept form (which is y = mx + b):
First, perform the indicated multiplication:
y + 7 = -2x + 6
Combining the constants, we get
y = -2x - 1
This is the desired equation in slope-intercept form. slope is -2 and y-intercept is -1.
