A 41-foot Indder is leaning against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 8 feet from the base of the building. Write an equation that could be
used to find x, the height in feet the ladder reaches on the building. Round
your answer to the nearest foot.
Please answer!

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

4 + 5 7/9= 9 7/9

step-by-step explanation:

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
