Find the slope m.
m = (1 - 2)/(3 - (-1))
m = -1/(3 + 1)
m = -1/4
Use the slope and one of the points and plug into the point-slope formula.
y - 1 = (-1/4)(x - 3)
Isolate y.
y - 1 = (-1/4)x + (3/4)
y = (-1/4)x + (3/4) + 1
y = (-1/4)x + (7/4)

Right triangles must follow the pythagorean theorem, so a^2+b^2=c^2.
Let's find a^2 and b^2 by squaring the first 2 side lengths.
(x^2-1)^2= x^4-2x^2+1
(2x)^2= 4x^2
Then add the two to find c^2
x^4+ 2x^2 +1= c^2
Root both sides
x^2+1=c
Since the side lengths can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem, the side lengths must represent a right triangle.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
one num = 6
another = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
One number = x
Another = 4x
Difference = 18
4x - x = 18
3x = 18 ; x = 18/3 = 6
