8 - 1 = 7
7 - 9 = -2
7 divided by -2 is -3.5

The slope is -3.5 now we need to find the y intercept.

To find the y intercept do -3.5 times 7 and you get -24.5.
Next do 8- -24.5 and you get 32.5 which is the y intercept.

The equation would be y = -3.5x + 32.5

Answer:

x = 2 $\sqrt{74}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for x

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

x² = 14² + 10² = 196 + 100 = 296

Take the square root of both sides

x = $\sqrt{296}$ = 2 $\sqrt{74}$
