Question

Write an equasion of the line that passes through (0,-2) and (4,10)

Answer 1

12.649

Explanation:

we can use Pythagoras to solve this; simply by forming a triangle of the difference between the x and y values. (I added a lil-sketch of it).

So, we just need to find the length of the two sides:

Vertical side: 12

Horizontal side: 4

Thus;

`4^(2) + 12^(2) = c^(2) \\160 = c^(2)\\Side c is equal to 12.649 (in whatever unit given)`
