Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangles.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
DF² = DE² + EF² , then
(a)
DF² = 16² + 12² = 256 + 144 = 400 ( take square root of both sides )
DF = = 20
(b)
DF² = 7² + 2² = 49 + 4 = 53 ( take square root of both sides )
DF = ≈ 7.28 ( to 2 dec. places )

if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore, has a slope of -2.
now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.
