Answer:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to get BC using the pythagoras theorem

BC² = AC² + AB²

BC² = 8² + 15²

BC² = 64+225

BC² = 289

BC = √289

BC = 17

DB = 1/2BC

DB = 1/2 * 17

DB = 8.5

Hence the length of DB is 8.5

Which graph correctly represents the equation y=−4x−3?
pentagon [3]

2. The slope is negative. (Which means the graph is going to decrease. So that takes out the other two options that have it increased.)
