Answer:
Sam is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the lengths of the diagonals using Pythagoras' identity.
The diagonals divide the rectangle and square into 2 right triangles.
Consider Δ SRQ from the rectangle
SQ² = SR² + RQ² = 12² + 6² = 144 + 36 = 180 ( take square root of both sides )
SQ = ≈ 13.4 in ( to 1 dec. place )
Consider Δ ONM from the square
OM² = ON² + NM² = 6² + 6² = 36 + 36 = 72 ( take square root of both sides )
OM = ≈ 8.5 in ( to 1 dec. place )
Now 2 × OM = 2 × 8.5 = 17 ≠ 13.4
Then diagonal OM is not twice the length of diagonal SQ

Ok so to write the equation of the line you will need the slope and y-intercept. Since we are given two-point we can easily find the slope by using this equation for slope formula:
So now that we have our equation we can just plug in the numbers:
After subtracting you should get:
0/8
Since zero is in the numerator and you can't divide zero by anything, the slope is 0. We still need the y-intercept for the equation however since the slope is 0 there is no need to put anything else.
Then to find the y-intercept all you have to do is plug in one of the coordinatines into the slope equation to solve, for example, using the point (5,-9):
B is the variable for the y-intercept. Also notice how I put 0 as our slope into the equation. Now all you have to do is solve for b. Which you would get b = -9. Since you have your slope and your y-intercept now you just write out your equatoin for the line which is:
y = 0x - 9
**Just write it as
y = -9
