So the Pythagorean Theorem is a²+b²=c² pretty much all you do is plug in what you know. So for number 3 you would plug in the numbers that you know into the formula.
20²+b²=25²
BD isn't needed in the formula because it's not apart of the legnth we are looking at so you dont need to worry about that.
Now do what the formula says..
400+b²=625
then you would subtract
625-400= 225
and "un-square" the answer by finding the square root
√225 = 15
AB= 15
you can always check your answer
20²+15²=25²
400+225=625

What is the slope of the line that passes through (9,3) and (2,1)

Aneli [31]

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope = \frac{1 - 3}{2 - 9} \\ = \frac{ - 2}{ - 7} \\ = \frac{2}{7}$

The graph of a linear equation passes through three of these points: (0, 5), (2, 2), (3, 1), and (4, -1). The point that the gra

dlinn [17]

Label the given points as follows:
A (0, 5)
B (2, 2)
C (3, 1)
D (4, -1)

The straight line has a constant slope. Therefore it should have the same value when any two of the four points are used to calculate the slope.

Try A and B:
Slope = (2 - 5)/(2 - 0) = -3/2

Try A and C:
Slope = (1 - 5)/(3 - 0) = -4/3

Try A and D.
Slope = (-1 - 5)/(4 - 0) = -3/2

Try B and D.
Slope = (-1 - 2)/(4 - 2) = -3/2

Clearly, C does not lie on the straight line.

Answer: The point that the graph does not pass through is (3,1).
