Our goal is to fit the given information into the slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
We can place the slope in 'm.'
y= -7x+b
Then, input the values for the x and y.
2= -7(-5)+b
2=35+b
b=2-35
b= -33
'b' is the intercept, so now that we know that, we can plug in all the values and find our final equation.
y= -7x -33
Answer:
The coefficient is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
I've attached the diagram.
For this problem, since you have a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to fine the length of the ladder (the hypotenuse of the triangle).
Pythagorean Theorem (where c is the hypotenuse):
a² + b² = c²
The triangle's leg lengths are 8 and 6; substitute into the theorem:
8² + 6² = c²
Simplify:
64 + 36 = c²
100 = c²
10 = c
Answer:
The length of the ladder is 10 m.
