Hello again! So we will be using the pythagorean theorem (

) to solve for the bottom leg of the triangles. After we do that, we'll subtract the value of the legs from 31, and that'll be x.
Plug in 17 and z (or any variable that isn't x) into the leg variable and 19 into the hypotenuse variable, and from there we can solve.

Solve the exponents to get

Subtract 289 on each side to get

Lastly, square root each side of the equation and your answer should be

(To get more accurate answers, you shouldn't round until the end of the problem)
Nextly, we will need to subtract

from 31. And since there are 2 triangles, you'll need to multiply

by 2.
In short, x = 14.0
I would say that your answer is 22
Answer:
a) the gradient of the linear graph is: 
b) the y-intercept of linear graph is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Find the gradient of the linear graph.
The formula used to find gradient is same as slope

Take any 2 points from the graph.
I will take: (-3,0) and (0,-1)
Putting values in formula and finding gradient

So, the gradient of the linear graph is: 
b) Find the y-intercept of linear graph
The y-intercept of linear graph is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
So, in the given graph, that point is -1
So, the y-intercept of linear graph is -1
