Mathematics
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the shorter leg, then x + 5 is the longer leg, and 2x − 5 is the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

(2x − 5)² = x² + (x + 5)²

4x² − 20x + 25 = x² + x² + 10x + 25

4x² − 20x + 25 = 2x² + 10x + 25

2x² − 30x = 0

x² − 15x = 0

x (x − 15) = 0

x = 0 or 15

Since x can't be 0, x must be 15.

Identify the slope of the line shown in the graph below: Graph of a vertical line with an x intercept of 4
lions [1.4K]
For this case we have the following line:
 x = 4
 The first thing you should know is that the slope of the line is given by:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 In this case:
 x2 = x1
 Thus,
 The slope is:
 m = (y2-y1) / (0)
 m = infinity
 Answer:
 
The slope of the line is:
 
m = infinity
