Answer:
y = -3/4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 9 = -3/4 (x-8)
y-9 = -3/4x -6
y = -3/4x - 6 + 9
y = -3/4x + 3
X=2.412 is the correct answer
When Peter does this, he is creating two sides of a right-angle triangle. The distance from his house to that point will be the hypotenuse of the triangle thus, to work out the length of the hypotenuse, we have to use Pythagoras Theorem! So:
a² + b² = c²
15² + 15² = c²
225 + 225 = c²
450 = c²
15√2 = c
21.21320344 = c
So, this rounded to the nearest tenth would be:
21.2 meters !
Zeros do not count as a sigfig so when you do something like this problem just include the numbers until you hit your significant figure limit and then substitute zeros where you can. 20000
