Find the lengths of the missing sides in the triangle. Write your answers as integers or as decimals rounded to the nearest tenth.

y = 8

x = 11.3

option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can recognize this right triangle as a special triangle, a 45° - 45° - 90° triangle more specifically. This triangle would be isosceles because the two base angles are both 45°. Since the triangle is isosceles, we can say that the legs are congruent, so y = 8. In a 45° - 45° - 90° triangle, the hypotenuse is √2 times the legs. To find x, we can set up the equation:

8 * √2 =x

x = 8√2 or about 11.3

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

i believe that the slope of the line is -5
