Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This image forms a special right triangle: 3-4-5. This represents the ratios of the sides.

Multiplying 3-4-5 by 2, you get 6-8-10. 10 is the hypotenuse (the answer you want) and the only number not listed in the problem.

Find the slope of the line that would pass

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we go!

Slope Formula:

$\frac{ {y}^{2} - {y}^{1} }{ {x}^{2} - {x}^{1} }$

What we know: (-4, -52) and (-1, -22)

Plug in the numbers!

$\frac{ - 52 - ( - 22)}{ - 4 - ( - 1)}$

Fix it!

$\frac{ - 52 + 22}{ - 4 + 1}$

Add

$\frac{ - 30}{ - 3}$

Divide

(negative divided by a negative is a positive!!)

Slope is 10

Hope this helps!
