Answer: Point C is (0, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a general line y = a*x +b

A perpendicular line to this one will have a slope equal to -(1/a)

First, for a line y = a*x + b that passes through points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Then for a line that passes through the points A (-4, 5) and B (5, 8) the slope is:

a = (8 - 5)/(5  - (-4))  = 3/9 = 1/3

a = 1/3

Then, a line perpendicular to this one will have the slope:

a' = -(1/(1/3) = -3

Then the perpendicular line is something like:

y = -3*x + b

Now we know that this line passes through point A, then when x = -4, we have y = 5

if we replace these values we get:

5 = -3*(-4) + b

5 = 12 + b

5 - 12  = b

-7 = b

Then our line is:

y = -3*x - 7

This line intersects the y-axis at point C, we know that the y-axis corresponds to x = 0.

Then:

y = -3*0 - 7

y = -7

The point C is (0, -7)

In triangle ABC, (angle A) is a right angle and (m angle B) = 45deg.
Ratling [72]
We can use the ratios for special triangles (see the attachment below). We'll be using the 45-45-90 triangle. We notice that side BC is equal to x \sqrt{2}, and side AC (x using the special right triangle) is equal to 16. We can therefore say that side BC is equal to 16 \sqrt{2} ft
