Answer:

altitude = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean Theorem where you have a right triangle with a base of 8 (half of 16), a hypotenue of 17, and the altitude is 'a'

a² + 8² = 17²

a² + 64 = 289

a² = 225

a = \sqrt{225}

a = 15

Is (1,-4) a solution to the equation y=-2x?<br> Yes or no? Please help /:
Elden [556K]
No it is not, the solution would need to be (2,-4) in order to satisfy the equation y = -2x -- like so -4 = -2(2)

-4 = -4, otherwise the equation won't be satisfied.
