Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.

When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis. 

short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other

Answer:

Sample Response: The points are on a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis. The absolute value of −3 represents the distance from (−3, −5) to the y-axis, and the absolute value of 9 represents the distance from the y-axis to (9, −5).

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the sample response.

Answer:

  0.26 +0.18i

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

  \dfrac{2+i}{7-i}=\dfrac{(2+i)(7+i)}{(7-i)(7+i)}=\dfrac{13+9i}{50}=\boxed{0.26+0.18i}

An executive invests $26,000, some at 8% and some at 6% annual interest. If he receives an annual return of $1,860, how much is
S_A_V [24]
Let x = amount invested at 8%
 26000 - x = amount invested at 6%

0.08x + 0.06(26000 - x) = 1860

solving the equation you get x = 15000
and subtract that from 26000 you get 11000
8% investment = 15000
6% investment = 11000
