Amajor baseball diamond is a square with side lengths of 90 feet.
a) what is the distance from home plate to second base (going directly from home base to 2nd base, so draw a line that goes from home base staright to 2nd base).
b) suppose you want to position the pitching mound at equal distances between 2nd base and home plate, how far from the homeplate should you place the pitching mound.
*it is to draw a picture to get a good visual

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are looking for the distance from home plate to second base, you are actually looking for the length of the diagonal of the square.  Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² where a and b are the side lengths and c is the length of the diagonal.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
