ASAP PLEASE A ladder is leaning against a wall. Paul has measured and determined that the distance along the ground from the base of the
ladder to the wall is eight inches less than the distance along the wall from the ground to the top of the ladder.
Which of the following functions describes the length of the ladder in terms of x, the distance along the wall from the ground
to the top of the ladder?
A. L(x) = V2x^2 + 16x + 64
B. L(x)=V2x^2 – 16x + 64
C. L(x)= V2x^2 – 64
D: L(x)) = V2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=4(x-x1)

step-by-step explanation:

this is point-slope form since you only have 4 as the slope it goes in place of m

hope this : )

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
