The answer is 13, i got this by using the pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. in this case it would be 84^2 + b^2 = 85^2. then that would turn into 7056 + b^2 = 7225, subtract both sides by 7056 to get b^2 = 169, then square 169 to get 13 :)
Perpendicular means that the slopes are negartive inverses, aka
slope1 times slope2=-1
y=mx+b
slope=m
y=-1/2x-2
slope=-1/2
we need to find negative inverse
-1/2 times what=-1
answer is 2
y=2x+b
input the point (2,-2) to find b
(x,y)
(2,-2)
-2=2(2)+b
-2=4+b
minus 4 from both sides
-6=b
y=2x-6
the equtaion is y=2x-6
The answer will be: Y = -2/5x - 4
Slope intercept form: y= Mx+b
You find the slope (M) using: rise/run formula
You find (b) by looking at the y-intercept
250/100 = 2.5
2.5*7 = 1.75
$1.75
Hope this helped!
