Answer:
-5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope= y2-y1/x2-x1
Answer: 9 inches.
Do the pythagorean theorem to find your answer.
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c2
12 = b
15 = c
a^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
Simplify the equation
a^2 + 144 = 225
Subtract 144 on both sides.
a^2 = 81
Square root of 81 is 9.
The triangle to solve for has a leg or 12 feet, hypotenuse of 20 feet, so solve for Pythagoras

for a

a = 16 feet
1) x < 8/3
2) x > -9
3) Infinite Solutions
4) No Solution
Please correct me if I’m wrong. Hope this helps!
