Answer:
The straight line distance is 5 miles from starting point
Step-by-step explanation:
x isn't a linear equation, it's just a variable or an expression or a letter of the alphabet.
x = 0 is a linear equation and is a line in the Cartesian plane. In fact, it's the y axis itself.
So every point on the line x=0 is a y intercept.
There is no "the" y intercept, no unique y intercept.
Hey there!
In this problem, we see that c is equal to four multiplied by h.
If we plug in our value for h, we get:
c = 4(7)
Simplify right side:
c = 28
Hope this helps!

Answer:
a) x = -1, x = 4
b) y = x^2 -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We observe the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 4. These are the solutions to y = 0, which is usually what we want in cases like this.
The solutions are x=-1 and x=4.
__
b) We know two of the factors are (x +1) and (x -4). There may be an additional constant factor for vertical scaling. One point we can check is the y-intercept.
y = a(x +1)(x -4)
For x=0, this is ...
y = a(1)(-4) = -4a
The y-intercept is y = -4, so we have a=1.
The factored equation is ...
y = (x +1)(x -4)
Multiplying this out gives the equation in standard form:
y = x^2 -3x -4
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
Your teacher may want the standard form equation to be ...
x^2 -3x -4 = 0
This is the equation of two specific points: x=-1 and x=4. It is not the equation of the graph.

Explanation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 5^2 = c^2
144 + 25 = c^2
/169 = c
c = 13
