Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:
20^2=12^2+x^2
400=144+x^2
x^2=400-144
x^2=256
x=16

You can write the equation in point-slope form, which has the format <em>y-y</em>subscript1=<em>m</em>(<em>x-x</em>subscript1), with <em>y</em>subscript1 and <em>x</em>subscript1 being the y and x coordinates for a point on the line, and <em>m</em> being the slope. </span>
<span /><span>Substitute a y and x coordinate into the equation so you have <em>y</em>-6=<em>m</em>(<em>x</em>-2)</span>
<span /><span><span>Then find the slope so you can replace <em>m</em>. The slope formula is <em />(<em>y</em>subscript2-<em>y</em>subscript1)/(<em>x</em>subscript2-<em>x</em>subscript1). </span><span>Substitute the coordinates in so you have <em>m</em>=(16-6)/(4-2), which simplifies to 10/2 and then 5.</span></span>
<span><span /></span><span>Now the equation is <em>y</em>-6=5(<em>x</em>-2)</span>
<span />If you want a different form, for example slope-intercept form, you can change it to that:
<span><em>y</em>-6=5(<em>x</em>-2)</span>
<span><em>y</em>=5x-4</span>

Answer:
32.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide 131 by 4 (131/4), then you should get the answer 32.75, so if you need to round it, round it to 31, and if you do not need to round it, then it will be 32.75
Slope = 2/3 (positive 2/3)
You use the formula Y2-Y1/X2-X1 in order to get the slope
