Triangle a b c is shown. angle a c b is a right angle. an altitude is drawn from point c to a point on side a b to form a right angle. the length of a b is 17 and the length of a c is 8. what is the length of line segment b c? 9 units 11 units 15 units 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

substitute the given values

solve for BC

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!
