What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, 2) and (-8,3)?

Answer:

y = --0.25x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of a line, you must first find the slope of the line.

The equation to find slope is  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.

Plug in the given points:

(x2, y2) = (-8,3)

(x1, y1) = (-4,2)

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (3-1)/ (-8 - -4) = (3-2) / (-8 + 4) = 1/-4 = -0.25

Next, you solve for the y-intercept using one of the two coordinates:

y = -0.25x + b

2 = -0.25(-4) + b

2 = 1 + b

b = 2 - 1 = 1

y = -0.25x + 1

Answer:

\boxed{\sf B)\: x=\sqrt{17}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the Pythagorean Theorem</u>

The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is \tt a^2+b^2=c^2

* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*

(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).

a= x, b=8, c=9

\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

Let's Plug in the side lengths:

\sf x^2+8^2=9^2

Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:

\sf x^2+64=81

Subtract 64 from both sides:

\sf x^2+64-64=81-64

\sf x^2=17

Take the square root of both sides:

\sf x=\sqrt{17}
