Atriangle has two sides of length 17 and 2. what is the largest possible whole number length
for the third side?

The largest possible value for the third side is  18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the first side of the triangle  = 17

Second side of the triangle  = 2

Let us assume the third side of the triangle  = m

Now, In any given triangle:

"Sum of any two sides of a triangle is strictly greater than the third side."

⇒ Sum of first side  +  Sum of second side   > Third Side

   or,     m < 17 + 2

   or,     m  <  19

hence, the largest possible value for m = 18

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?

the aswere is the one with all 8's and the second one is with the 10,8 and 6
