Can someone help me with this

Slope is defined as rise over run, which can be expressed as the difference of the y-coordinates divided by the difference of the x-coordinates. If we rise, we are moving vertically, or along the y-axis. If we run, we are moving horizontally, or along the x-axis.

The formula for the slope m of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) that lie on the line is:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (15 - 5)/(-6 - 4)

m= 10/-10

m = -1

Now, we can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line to obtain the equation of the line that satisfies the conditions outlined in the problem. Slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

Again, m represents the slope, while b stands for the y-intercept. We can use either point on the line to represent x and y. Let's choose the point (4, 5)

5 = -1(4) + b

5 = -4 + b

9 = b

The equation of the line is:

y = -x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
