Answer:
a = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
We use pythagoras theorem here.
h = 60
p = 48
b = a
h² = p² + b²
60² = 48² + b²
3600 = 2304 + b²
b² = 3600 - 2304
b² = 1296
b = 36
4x + 3y = 12
3y = -4x + 12
y = -4/3x + 4........so the slope (or gradient) is -4/3...because in y = mx + b form, the slope(gradient) is in the m position and the y int is in the b position....so if u wanted to know the y axis, it would be (0,4)
the x intercept (where the line crosses the x axis) can be found by subbing in 0 for y in the original equation or the slope intercept equation, and solving for x.
4x + 3(0) = 12
4x = 12
x = 12/4 = 3....so the x intercept is (3,0)
