Make the equation into slope intercept form: y = mx + b
2x + y = 10
Subtract 2x
y = -2x + 10
Parallel means same slope
Y = -2x + b
Plug in the point (1,5)
5 = -2(1) + b, b = 7
Solution: y = -2x + 7
First error is that the legs are a and b so a should be x and b is 6 and c is 10 the second error is at the end they did not take the square root to get x by itself the real answer should be
X^2 +6^2=10^2
X^2+36=100
X^2 =64
X=8
Answer:
90?
Step-by-step explanation:
Im not sure how I did this, but i hope it helped!
So we know the lines are parallel.
Thus, the equation should look something like this:
y = 5x + b
Now, we have to solve for b.
Plug x=1 and y=2 into the equation to solve for b
2 = 5 + b
Subtract both sides by 5
-3 = b
b = -3
Plug that value into the equation.
y = 5x - 3
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)
