Answer:
y=-3/2x+7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find the slope by subtracting second point,(7,-3), from the first point, (5,0), you get the slope of -3/2.
you need to put it on a graph with that slope, place the original two points and you move the slope up the y-axis 7.5, making the y-intercept (7.5,0)
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
8² + 12² = c²
64 + 144 = c²
c = √208 ≈ 14.42
14.42 - 12 = 2.42 in
The direct distance between the lizard and the cactus is 2.42 inches.
