Answer:

the desired range is 2 < t < 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the third side is 12 (the sum of 5 and 7), we don't really have a triangle, since the 5-unit and 7-unit sides add up to 12 and lie on the third side (of length 12).

Since triangle ABC is acute, all its angles are between 0 and 90 degrees. So the third side can be 12 but not greater. The smallest possible length of the third side is 2, since 5 + 2 = 7.

Thus, the desired range is 2 < t < 12.

Y=2/3x-2(-3,4)

kodGreya [7K]

y = (2/3)x + 6

because the slope stays the same because it is parallel and to get the y intercept you plug in -3 for x into the equation (2/3)x +? =4 and ?=6 so that gives you the equation y = (2/3)x + 6
