If you cut the rectangle (the wall) diagonally, you get two congruent triangles. The measurements of the sides of one the triangles is 8, 15 and x. There is a pythagorean triples 8, 15, 17 so x has to be 17. if you dont know the triple you can do a^2 + b^2 = c^2 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2 c = 17
the diagonal of wall should be 17

If you want you can round it
the slope is 9 and the y-intercept is - 2
the equation of a line in ' slope-intercept form ' is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = 9x - 2 is in this form
with slope m = 9 and y-intercept c = - 2
Answer:
10 y=-1x-1 12 y=5/3x+5
