The length of BC is
.
Solution:
Given ABC is a right triangle.
AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.
AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.
AC = 16 and DC = 5
<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>



Do cross multiplication.



Taking square root on both sides.


square and square roots get canceled, we get

The length of BC is
.
Step 1: Find the slope:

This gives you
, but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
![\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D-2%26%3D-%5Cdfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%284%29%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D-2%26%3D-6%2Bb%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D4%26%3Db%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.

Parent function
Step-by-step explanation:
X-y=3=>x=3+y
X+2y=-6
=========
3+y+2y=-6
3+3y=-6
3y=-6-3
3y=-9
y=-3
X+2y=-6
X+2(-3)=-6
X-6=-6
X=0
