Answer:

obtuse angled triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 3 segments , say a, b and c , with c the longest then

• If a² + b² = c² ⇒ right triangle

• If a² + b² > c² ⇒ acute triangle

• If a² + b² < c² ⇒ obtuse triangle

Here c = 17 and 17² = 289

9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225

Since 225 < 289 , then triangle is obtuse

Answer:

$y=5x+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this situation is a linear relationship between the number of movies and the total cost, we need to determine the slope of the line given our two ordered pairs $(x_1,y_1)\rightarrow(5,40)$ and $(x_2,y_2)\rightarrow(12,75)$ :

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\m=\frac{75-40}{12-5}\\ \\m=\frac{35}{7}\\ \\m=5$

Thus, our equation so far is $y=5x+b$ . Next, we need to find our y-intercept, $b$ , which represents our flat fee. We do so by using one of our original given ordered pairs:
