<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

a)

Let's just use Pythagoras

L² = X² + (X - 7)²

<h3>L = √(2X² - 14X + 49)</h3><h3 />

b)

If L = 13, then what is the value of X ???

L² = 2X² - 14X + 49

2X² - 14X - 120 = 0

X = 12  or  X = - 5

<em>(The distance cannot be negative, so X = 12)</em>

Write the equation of the line parallel to y=8x-1 that contains the point (-6,2)
Tasya [4]
Equation: y = 8x - 1
Compare it with, y = mx + b
Slope, m = 8
Now, parallel line must have equal slope, = 8

We know, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 8(x + 6)

Hope this helps!
