Question

• A straight line MN cuts x-axis at point M(6, 0) and y-axis at point
N(0, 8). Find the length MN. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

M(6,0) is the x-intercept  & N(0,8) is the y-intercept

Using the Pythagoras theorem, length of MN is the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

i.e OM^2+ON^2=MN^2

     6^2+8^2=MN^2

     36+64=MN^2

      100=MN^2

        MN=10
