Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

XY = √(17^2-15^2)

XY = √(289 - 225)

XY = √64

XY = 8 yards.

The answer is C.

(01.05) Use the graph below to answer this question: graph of line going through negative 1, 4 and 2, 0 Find the average rate of
dsp73

1) Find the graph of a line passing through (-1, 4) and (2, 0).

The slope of two points can be determined by dividing the difference of y-values by the difference of x-values:

\frac{4-0}{-1-2} =\frac{4}{-3}

The slope of this equation is -4/3. Inputting this into the slope-intercept form of an equation, we get:

y=\frac{-4}{3} x+b

To find b, substitute x and y for one of the given coordinate pairs:

0 = (-4/3)(2) + b

0 = -8/3 + b

8/3 = b

Substitute the b value into the equation to finish the line:

y=\frac{-4}{3} x+\frac{8}{3}

PLEASE HELP<br><br> FIND THE LENGTH OF RS.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between 2 points

=  \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}  + (y1 - y2)^{2} }

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate while (x₂, y₂) I'd the second coordinate.

Length of RS

=  \sqrt{ {[ - 1 -( - 4)] }^{2}  + (9 - 1)^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{( - 1 + 4)^{2}  + 8^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  + 64 }  \\  =  \sqrt{73}  \\ = 8.54 \: (3 \: s.f.)

Thus, RS is about 8.5 units.

Deanna has $150.00 in her account.At the end of each week, she plans to take $15.00 out of her account for her spending money. W
AlexFokin [52]

Let the balance = Y and the number of weeks = x

She takes out 15 per week, so multiply 15 by x ( the number of weeks) to get 15x.

You would then want to subtract that from the amount she started with in her account.

The equation becomes: Y = 150 - 15x
