Answer:

The hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Pythagorean theorem states that in any right triangle the lengths of the three sides are related by the equation A ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = C ^ 2, to determine the length of the hypotenuse in a right thangle with legs 5 inches and 12 inches the following calculation should be performed:

5 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

25 + 144 = X ^ 2

√169 = X

13 = X

Therefore, the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 13 inches.

Answer:

m = (2-(-2))/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1
y +2 = 1(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (x1, y1) is ...

y -y1 = m(x -x1)

To find the slope of the line, find the ratio of the difference in y-values of the points to the difference in corresponding x-values. Here, the slope is ...

m = (2 -(-2))/(2 -(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 . . . work to compute slope

The problem statement tells you x1 = -2, y1 = -2. Putting the numbers in to the point-slope form gives ...

y -(-2) = 1(x -(-2))

y + 2 = x + 2 . . . equation form with m, (x1, y1) filled in

The answer at the top leaves the slope shown as 1. We don't know how much simplification you are expected to do. Obviously, this <em>could</em> be simplified to y=x, but then the use of (-2, -2) for the point would not be obvious.
