The altitude will be the geometric mean of the lengths, so
h=\sqrt{4 \cdot 12}=4\sqrt{3}.  The smaller leg is the hypotenuse of a right triangle sides 4 and 4 \sqrt{3}, so the usual trig cliche, hypotenuse 8.

Answer: 8

What is the equation of the line in point slope form given a slope of -3 and a point of (-2,-5)?​
Lelu [443]

Answer:

y = -3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given slope and point in the point-slope equation. Solving this will give us the y-intercept equation.

Point-slope formula: y - y = m(x - x)

Plug in the slope and point

y - (-5) = -3(x - (-2))

Subtracting negatives will make them positive. Multiply out the -3 to what is in the parentheses.

y + 5 = -3x - 6

Subtract the 5 from both sides

y = -3x - 11

The equation of the line is y = -3x - 11
