Find the value of b
using the formula for the equation of a line.
b
=
11
Now that the values of
m (slope) and b
(y-intercept) are known, substitute them into
y
=
m
x
+
b to find the equation of the line. y

The legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent; they have the same length, so if one leg measures 2 m, the other leg also measures 2 m.
2m + 2m + b = 7.5 m
b + 4 m = 7.5 m
b = 3.5 m
The length of the base is 3.5 m.
#1 is b and #2 is also b ,, i think..so sorry if i’m wrong!
