Someone please help me in this question it is kind of confusing it is a question under pre calculus in first year calculus i will post the picture after this. So the question is The accompanying figure shows a rectangle inscribed in a isoceles right triangle whose hypotenuse is 2 units long. a) Express the y-coordinate of P in terms of x (You might start by writing and equation for the line AB) b) Express the area of the rectangle in terms of x.

This question has previously been asked. This might help you.
i opened it .. i m not getting the value of "c" in an equation y=mx+c ... how it is calculated?
y=-1(x)+c how c=1?
