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.

Given that f(x)=6x+2 and g(x)=2x+4/5 solve for g(f(1))<br><br> A.1<br> B.3<br> C.4<br> D.8
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The value of g(f(1)) is 84/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to a composite function, start with the function on the inside, which is f(1). So, we input 1 into the f(x) equation and evaluate.

f(x) = 6x + 2

f(1) = 6(1) + 2

f(1) = 6 + 2

f(1) = 8

Now that we have the answer of 8, we can input that in for x in the outside function, which is g(x).

g(x) = 2x + 4/5

g(8) = 2(8) + 4/5

g(8) = 16 + 4/5

g(8) = 84/5
