For this, we will be using the pythagorean theorem, which is leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2 . Since we have the hypotenuse and one of the legs, we can solve for the other leg. Our equation will look like this: x^2+60^2=100^2

Firstly, solve the exponents: x^2+3600=10000

Next, subtract 3600 on both sides: x^2=6400

Next, square root both sides, and your answer will be x = 80 units

The Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 = c^2 - b^2 where a and b = legs and c = hypotenuse

a^2 = 100^2 - 60^2

a^2 =10000 - 3600

a^2 = 6400

a= √6400

a = 80

Answer

The length of the other leg = 80 units

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (6, −3) and has a slope
emmainna [20.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The point slope form of the equation that passes through the point (6, -3) and has a slope of one half is y + 3 = one half (x − 6)  Thus Option C is correct

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that the line passes through the point (6, -3) and has a slope of one half

We have to find the point slope form of the line

<u><em>The point slope form is given as </em></u>

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where "m" is the slope of the line

Here in the given question, m = \frac{1}{2} ; x_1 = 6 ; y_1 = -3

Substituting the values we get,

y - (-3) = \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)

y + 3 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)

Thus option C is correct
