Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem says:

One Leg ^ 2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2

<u>Note:</u> This theorem holds true for right triangles

This problem is in fact of a right triangle as said. So we use the theorem to find the other leg's length.

One Leg ^ 2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2

8^2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = 17^2

64 + Another Leg ^ 2 = 289

Another Leg ^ 2 = 289 - 64

Another Leg ^ 2 = 225

The other is the square root of 225, which is 15

The correct answer is B

18. What is the y-intercept of the line that passes<br> through the points (1, 1) and (5, 13)?
TEA [102]

Answer:

-2

(The coordinate point is (0,-2))

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make an equation of the line.

Start off with finding the slope:

Slope = (13-1)/(5-1) = 12/4 = 3

Then solve for the y-intercept though substitution and simplification:

y=mx+b --> 1=3(1)+b --> 1=3+b --> b= -2

So the answer is -2.
