The values of y are 1 and 3

What is distance formula -

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

x1 and y1 are x and y coordinates of a point.

similarly x2 and y2 are x and y coordinates of another point.

Explanation with steps -

As point P is equidistant from Q and R, the distances PQ and PR should be the same.

So, calculate distance PQ can be calculated from the above formula

The distance PQ is \sqrt{50}

now use this distance to calculate the unkown 'y'

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(-10-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{49+(y-2)^2}

Squaring both sides

50 = 49 + (y-2)^{2}

y^{2}-4y+3=0

On factorizing,

(y-1)(y-3)=0

Thus we get values of y to be 1 or 3

What is the rule for the piecewise function shown in the graph?
andrey2020 [161]
The first choice.
The equation of this first line is -2, and since there is an open circle, it is not equal to -3.
The equation of the second line is -x-2, and there is a closed circle, so it includes -3

What is:<br> 1/4 (q-12) + 1/4 (q-4)<br> simplified??
Alexandra [31]

Answer: -b - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since the a cancel eachother out we are left with (4-b) + (-6-7)

Second, you want to add the -6 and -7 to get -13, so (4-b) - 13

Finally, add the 4 to the negative 13 to get (-b - 9)

Hope this helps.
