The backboard of the basketball hoop forms a right triangle with the supporting rods, as shown. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to approximate the distance between the rods where they meet the backboard. Round your answer to the nearest
hundredth.

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)
