Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

XY = √(17^2-15^2)

XY = √(289 - 225)

XY = √64

XY = 8 yards.

The answer is C.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

We will list out the numbers which are factors of 12. They include:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

We need to get the highest number that has its greatest factor to be 4. It means that 6 and 12 cannot divide it.

To do this, we will write out the multiples of 4. They include:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88,92,96.

We will have to choose the highest number which only 4  can divide and  6 and 12 cannot divide.

Since we are looking for the largest, We can try dividing all the numbers by 4, 6, and 12 starting from 96.

We will quickly see that 4 can divide 92 but 6 and 12 cannot.

This gives us 92 as the answer.

Which equation describes the line that passes through the points (-4, 19) and (2, -1)
dangina [55]

Answer:

y=-5/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1

-1-19/2-(-4)

simplify

-20/8

simplify

-5/2

use slope-intercept form, y=mx+b

since we know the slope, find b

plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation

-1=(-5/2)(2)+b

simplify

-1= -10/2+b

simplify

-1=-5+b

add 5 to both sides

b=4

plug b into y=-5/2x+b

y=-5/2x+4
