To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.
m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3
b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.
Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0
So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.
Answer:
B & C
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
A) 18^2 + 24^2 = 2,088 | 42^2 = 1,764 [NOT A]
B) 33^2 +56^2 = 4,225 | 65^2 = 4,225 [B IS CORRECT]
C) 19^2 + 180^2 = (32,761) = 181^2 = (32,761) [C IS CORRECT]
D) 3^2 + 4^2 = 25 | 7^2 = 49 [NOT D]
I hope this helped you ! In return, please deem this the most brainliest answer.
