Answer:

c = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 8, c)

m = $\frac{c-0}{-8-8}$ = $\frac{c}{-16}$ = $\frac{1}{8}$

cross- multiplying gives

8c = - 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

c = - 2

The two points where they end and the point where they start form a right triangle, one leg is 12, the other leg is 15, you need to find the hypotenuse.
use the Pythagorean theorem: 12²+15²=c²
c≈19
they are about 19 feet apart.

Determine the intercepts of the line: -3x-4=-5y-8

Nina [5.8K]

The x-intercept is 4/3 and y-intercept is -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$-3x-4=-5y-8$

To find the x-intercept, we put y=0 in the equation

$-3x-4=-5(0)-8\\-3x-4=0-8\\-3x-4=-8\\-3x=-8+4\\-3x=-4$

Dividing both sides by -3

$\frac{-3x}{3} = \frac{-4}{-3}\\x = \frac{4}{3}$

To find the y intercept, we put x=0

$-3(0)-4=-5y-8\\-4 = -5y-8\\-5y-8 = -4\\-5y = -4+8\\-5y = 4\\$

Dividing both sides by -5

$\frac{-5y}{-5} = \frac{4}{-5}\\y = -\frac{4}{5}$

Hence,

The x-intercept is 4/3 and y-intercept is -4/5
