I need help with these questions.

1. b=6

2.b=8

3.a=30

I can't get the correct answer for 4 and 5 hope what I've got so far helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8^2+b2=10^2

64+b2=100

b2=36

then square to get

b=6

2. 15^2+b2=17^2

225+b2=289

b2=64

then square to get

b=8

3.  a2+40^2=50^2

a2+1600=2500

a2=900

then square to get

a=30

I can't get the correct answer for 4 and 5 hope what I've got so far helps.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
