Answer: Legs
Plan: Place the right triangle in the coordinate plane with the vertex of the (a) __________ at the origin and the (b) __________ along each axis.
Question says place the right angle in the coordinate plane.
It is a right angle triangle. If we place a right angle vertex at the origin then other two sides will be along x axis and y axis.
Place the right triangle in the coordinate plane with the vertex of the right angle at the origin and the legs along each axis.
Quadrant 4 is the correct answer, and it's the only
She is not correct, since the combined length of both boards is more than 2 feet
Find slope: (-4-8)/(-4+2) = -12/-2 = 6
Y = 6x + b
Plug in a point
8 = 6(-2) + b, b = 20
Equation: y = 6x + 20
