The equation of the straight line is y=mx+q where q is the number on the y-axis where the line passes, as you can see it is -3. It turns into:
y=mx+(-3) -> y=mx-3
Then consider a point on the line and take the coordinates, such as the point with coordinates (-2;-4), so now you know that:
x=-2 and y=-4
At this point you put these values into the equation:
y=mx-3
-4=m(-2)-3
then solve:
-4=-2m-3
-2m=+3-4
-2m=-1
m=+1/2
Put the value of m into the equation and you found it:
y=1/2x-3
Answer:
9 units and 12 units to nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one leg be x units long then the other = x+3 units.
By Pythagoras:
x^2 + (x+3)^2 = 15^2 = 225
2x^2 + 6x + 9 = 225
2x^2 + 6x - 216 =0
x^2 + 3x - 108 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 12) = 0
x = 9
So the other 2 legs are 9 and 12.
x = the number of feet of fence
y = the total cost of the fence and gate
43x + 128 = y
[fence costs $43 per feet(x) plus the cost of the gate(128) equals the total cost of the fence and gate(y)]
