Answer:
9.85
Step-by-step explanation:
I hate these, LOL
We're going to draw a triangle on the graph paper to solve this. (in theory)
The top point is at 2 on the x axis, and the bottom is at 6. That's a difference of 4. Draw a line from the top dot over 4 spaces, so a line dropped from there could go straight to the bottom dot. We'll call this line/side of the triangle a, and a = 4.
Then we drop the line from there (6, 4) down to the second dot at (6, -5). That line is 9 places long. We'll call this line/side of the triangle b, and b = 9.
(This is so much easier to draw than type, I'll attach a picture).
Then we connect the two dots diagonally to form line/side c of our triangle. This is the length we don't know.
The pythagorean theorem says a^2 + b^2 = c^2
So a = 4, b = 9, c is unknown for our triangle
(4)(4) + (9)(9) = c^2
16 + 81 = 97
The square root of 97 = 9.8488, so if they have you round, I would say 9.85
Sorry if this just confused you more.

Answer:
X, process, y
-2, 3(-2), -6
-1, 3(-1), -3
0, 3(0), 0
1, 3(1), 3
2, 3(2), 6
X = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,
Y = -6, -3, 0, -3, -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates for the graph: (-2,-6), (-1,-3), (0,0), (1,3), (2,6)
Graph is the image I added onto this.
Solving for Y below:
3(-2)= -6
3(-1)= -3
3(0)= 0
3(1)= 3
3(2)= 6
Hope this helps.
