Hi Kay, the point-slope form of a line is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1). Substituting the given point, (6, -8), and the slope, -2, gives: y - (-8) = -2 * (x - 6) This becomes: y + 8 = -2x + 12
Since it's a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean theorem or Trig (Soh Cah Toa).
I'll just use the Pythagorean theorem : a² + b² = c²
a = 9
b = x
c = 18
9² + x² = 18²
81 + x² = 324
x² = 324 - 81
x² = 243
x = √(243)
factor 243 to find a perfect square
x = √(3*81)
x = 9√(3)<u />
I think it’s one half 1/2
Your first answer is correct but I’m not sure if your second is. But I’m leaning towards it is not correct.
Hope this helps!
(Don’t forget to mark branliest if it is correct :) )
You can combine the same numbers with the same variables using the operation sign for each. For example, using your equation, you would combine the 3n and 4n which is 7n. So your equation would be
7n - 2
