Answer:

  20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The north and east distances form the legs of a right triangle. The straight-line distance between the trains is the hypotenuse of that triangle. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse (d).

  d² = 12² +16²

  d² = 144 +256 = 400

  d = √400 = 20

The two trains are 20 miles apart.

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may recognize the given distances are in the ratio 3 : 4.  You may recall that side ratios of 3 : 4 : 5 make a right triangle. If so, you recognize that the straight-line distance is (4 miles)×5 = 20 miles. (3:4:5 right triangles show up often in algebra and geometry problems, so might be something you want to look for.)

Answer:

a = 22

b = 31

c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is the same in each row, column, and diagonal.

One of the diagonals is already complete.  The sum is:

16 + 25 + 34 = 75

So the first row adds up to 75:

a + 37 + 16 = 75

a = 22

The second row adds up to 75:

19 + 25 + b = 75

b = 31

And the third row adds up to 75:

34 + c + 28 = 75

c = 13

We can check our answer by finding the sum of each column and the other diagonal.

22 + 19 + 34 = 75

37 + 25 + 13 = 75

16 + 31 + 28 = 75

22 + 25 + 28 = 75

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form using y=mx+b​
natta225 [31]

Answer:

y = 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points you can see on the graph are (0,4) and (-2,-4)

Now, to find the slope, use delta y/ delta x

(-4-4)/(-2-0)

(-8)/(-2) = 4

Slope is 4.

y = 4x + b

Now, to find b, we need the y-intercept, which is the point where x is 0 and the graph crosses the y-axis.

This value is 4. So, the y-intercept is 4

Substitute into your equation

y = 4x + 4
