Answer:

19.21m  is the diagonal

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the diagonal, which makes it the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being 15 and 12

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 15^2 = c^2

144 +225 = c^2

369 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(369) = sqrt(c^2)

19.209 =c

19.21 m = c

We can solve for the diagonal using its formula: D = √L² + W²

D = √15² + 12²

D = √225 + 144

D = √369

D = 19.209..

Round to the nearest hundredth.

19.209… -> 19.21 meters

Hence, the diagonal of the house is roughly 19.21 meters.

Best of Luck!

The slope of a line is -1/2 what is the slope of a line that is parallel to it?
Lynna [10]
Parallel lines have the exact same slope ( or else they would eventually run into each other). So the answer is -1/2 is the slope.

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is -2/7 is
Masteriza [31]
The answer is C.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. That means one is negative and the other is positive, and the fractions are flipped.

Graph using slope and the y intercept

So y=x+5
You would plot the y intercept (0,5) and then go up 1 and to the right 1

The next graph plot y intercept (0,-1) and then go down 2 and to the right 1

And should look like the image

And your solution should be (-2,3) which is option c

Graph y &gt; -1/3x+5<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3E%20%20-%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%203%20%7D%20x%20%2B%205" id="Tex

Explanation:

The function is y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5

To graph the function, let us find the x and y intercepts.

To find x-intercept, let us substitute y=0 in the function y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5

\begin{aligned}0 &=-\frac{1}{3} x+5 \\-5 &=-\frac{1}{3} x \\x &=15\end{aligned}

Thus, the x-intercept is (15,0)

To find the y-intercept, let us substitute x=0, we get,

\begin{aligned}&y=-\frac{1}{3}(0)+5\\&y=5\end{aligned}

Thus, the y-intercept is (0,5)

The graph has no asymptotes.

To plot the points in the graph, we need to substitute the values for x in the function y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5, to find the y-values.

The points are (-2,5.667),(-1,5.333),(1,4.667),(2,4.333),(3,4). The image of the graph and table is attached below:
