Answer:

y=1/5x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

In perpendicular lines the slopes are negative reciprocals so the slope of other line is 1/5x

And they intersect at (15,5) to find the y intercept(b)

y=1/5x+b

5=(1/5)(15)+b

5=3+b

b=2

Determine the length of the missing side in each of the right triangles below using the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2.

lara31 [8.8K]

The answer is 12
${13}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = {13}^{2} - {5}^{2} \\ b {}^{2} = 169 - 25 = 144$
$b = \sqrt{144} = 12$

good luck
