We can use the pathagorian theorum: A²+B²=C² now in this case it would be X²+Y²=2² we also know that X and Y are the same number in this problem because they have the same corresponding angle (triangle angles always add to 180 and since we know 2 of the angles are 45 and 90 the remaining angle will also be 45) Because of this we can change our equation to Z²+Z²=2² (I'm using Z so that we do not confuse it with another letter we've already used) from there we can go to Z∧4=2² and then we will solve the equation. Z=√2 Z also equals X and Y therefore Y=√2

I hope this helps and please let me know if there is anything you don't understand I would be happy to clarify!

The graph below shows the distance, y, in miles, of a bird from its nest for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$0.2$ miles per minute represents the speed of the bird and 3 miles represents the original distance of the bird from its nest.

Step-by-step explanation:

As there is no graph mentioned here but the information are quite sufficient to answer the question.

We have points $(0,3), (5,4),(10,5)...$

From these points we can find the slope of the line .

From point slope formula $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

And assigning $(x,y) (0,3)$ and $(x_1,y_1) (5,4)$

$m=\frac{y_1-y}{x_1-x} =\frac{4-3}{5-0} =\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

This slope is also the speed of the bird which is $0.2\ miles\ per\ minute.$

As by plugging the values of any coordinate point we can confirm this.

Lets put $(10,5)$ , y-axis is the distance so in $10$ minutes the the distance covered by the bird must be equal to to y-axis value which is $5$ miles.
