The figure is a scalene triangle, and the exact length of side a is √13
<h3>How to determine the exact length of side a?</h3>
To calculate the length of a, we make use of the following law of cosine
a² = b² + c² - 2bc * cos(A)
Using the values in the figure, we have:
a² = 3√2² + 5² - 2 * 3√2 * 5 * cos(45)
Evaluate the expression
a² = 18 + 25 - 30
Evaluate the sum and the difference
a² = 13
Take the square root of both sides
a = √13
Hence, the exact length of side a is √13

If the question is to find the slope-intercept form of both lines, here's the answer:
Both lines pass through the point (-3,-4), so we can use these coordinates in both equations. The slope-intercept form is represented by y=mx+b, with m the slope, b the intersection of the line with Y'Y for x=0, y and x the coordinates of a point.
Let's first apply all these for the first line, with a slope of 4.
y = mx + b
y=-3; x=-4; m=4. All we need to do is find b.
-3 = 4(-4) + b
-3 = -16 + b
b=13
So the equation of the first line is y= 4x + 13.
Now, we'll do the same thing but for the second line:
y=-3; x=-4; m=-1/4, and we need to find b.
-3 = (-1/4)(-4) + b
-3 = 1 + b
b= -4
So the equation of the second line is y=(-1/4)x - 4
