C 17

Hypothenus = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that the triangles are congruent (i.e same size). Thus,

AC = EF

BC = DE

To obtain the length of each Hypothenus, we shall determine the value of y and x. This can be obtained as follow:

For y:

AC = y + 3

EF = 2y + 1

AC = EF

y + 3 = 2y + 1

Collect like terms

3 – 1 = 2y – y

2 = y

y = 2

For x:

BC = 5x + 7

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

DE = 6x + 2(2)

DE = 6x + 4

BC = DE

5x + 7 = 6x + 4

Collect like terms

7 – 4 = 6x – 5x

3 = x

x = 3

Finally, we shall determine the length of each Hypothenus. This can be obtained as follow:

Hypothenus = BC

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

x = 3

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

Hypothenus = 5(3) + 7

Hypothenus = 15 + 7

Hypothenus = 22

OR

Hypothenus = DE

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

x = 3

Hypothenus = 6(3) + 2(2)

Hypothenus = 18 + 4

Hypothenus = 22

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
