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.

29. Write iſ as an improper fraction, and multiply the
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: 29 = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would convert 1 2/3 into a improper faction. So you would multiply 1 and 3  then add 2 so 5/3 then multiply that by 1/2. You would multiply the numerators and denominators, so 5 times 1 and 3 times 2 which gives you 5/6.

find four solutions for the following linear equations your answer must include at least two positive numbers for X and at least
sattari [20]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (-18, 14), (-9, 9), (9, -1), (18, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a 9 in the denominator of the coefficient of x, we will get integer solutions only if x is a multiple of 9. Suitable values meeting the problem requirements are x ∈ {-18, -9, 9, 18}. Then the corresponding values of y are ...

  y = -5/9(-18) +4 = 10 +4 = 14

  y = -5/9(-9) +4 = 5 +4 = 9

  y = -5/9(9) +4 = -5 +4 = -1

  y = -5/9(18) +4 = -10 +4 = -6

The four solutions we have found are ...

  (-18, 14), (-9, 9), (9, -1), (18, -6)
