7.2 units is the distance between the two points (-5,3) and (1, -1).

The formula used for determining the distance between two points is shown below. In case this equation is used for finding the distance between the origin and a point, the value of x1 and y1 would just be equal to zero.

distance = $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2} }$

The given points can be directly substituted for the formula.

Let: x2= 1, x1= -5, y2= -1, and y1= 3

distance = $\sqrt{[1-(-5)]^{2} + (-1 -3)^2 }$

distance = $\sqrt{(6)^2+(-4)^2}$

distance = $\sqrt{52}$ or 7.21 units

When rounded to the nearest tenth, the distance between the two points would be 7.2 units.

$-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} :1\frac{3}{4}$

First , convert the mixed number (the fraction we are dividing by in the given maths problem) into an improper fraction .

Multiply the whole part (1) times the denominator (4) and add the numerator . The result is the numerator of our fraction , and the denominator stays the same .

So now our maths problem looks as follows :

$-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} :\frac{7}{4}$

Now turn the fraction you are dividing by over :

$-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} *\frac{4}{7}$

Now multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the numerator of the second fraction :

Perform the same operation with the denominators :

-4/14

So the result is :

$-\displaystyle\frac{4}{14}$

Since the above fraction is not in it's simplest form , we divide the top and bottom by 2 (a common factor of both 4 and 14) :

$-\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}$

What mathematics concepts or principles did you apply to come up with the solution of each equation? explain how you applied the

AlexFokin [52]

You need to look at the question again, and notice the words "... did you ...".
From those words, it's clear that the question comes AFTER you have solved
several equations, and now, this question is asking you how you solved them.

The only way for YOU to answer this question is to solve the equations first.

And if you want someone ELSE to tell the math concepts and principles that
are used to solve them, then you have to show him what the equations are.
