Question

A right triangle is formed in the first quadrant by the x and y axes (points (0,y) and (x,o)) and the line through the point (3,2). Write the length of L the hypotenuse as a function of x.

Answer 1

i know the distance formula is involved somewhere

Answer 2

Well, u know Pythagorus gives u h^2 = x^2 + y^2 and

u know the slope is-2/3 which is also equal to to y/x

So u can manage it from there I think...
