8.94

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the missing side, we will use the pythagoras theorem as shown;

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

From the diagram;

Let;

Hypotenuse = 12

Opposite = 8

Substitute

12^2 = 8^2 + x^2

144 = 64 + x^2

x^2 = 12^2 - 8^2

x^2 = 144 - 64

x^2 = 80

x = √80

x = 8.94

Hence the value of x is 8.94

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

idk
