Steps:
1) Distribute
We must distribute the expression above by multiplying -12 by the coefficients and then adding the variables.
So first, multiple -12 by 32 and add the variable 'x' when getting the product:
-12(-384x - 10y)
Now that we have one part, let's solve the other part.
We now must multiple -12 by -10, which gets us 120, now we must plug in:
(-384x - 120y)
(Remove parenthesis)
⇒ -384x - 120y

Hi there!
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the line.
If we draw an imaginary right triangle using the given line as the hypotenuse, we can derive a height of 6 units and a length of 10 units.
Use the Pythagorean theorem equation:
c² = a² + b²
Plug in the height and length:
c² = 6² + 10²
Simplify:
c² = 36 + 100
c² = 136
Take the square root of both sides:
c = √136. The correct answer is D.
