First, draw a diagram to visualize the situation:

As we can see, the difference between the x-coordinates of the points is the length of one leg of a right triangle, and the difference between the y-coordinates is the length of the other leg.

Then, for the given points (-5,4) and (8,-3), the distance given by the Pythagorean Theorem is:

\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\  \\ =\sqrt{(8--5)^2+(-3-4)^2} \\  \\ =\sqrt{(13)^2+(-7)^2} \\  \\ =\sqrt{169+49} \\  \\ =\sqrt{218} \\  \\ \approx14.7648... \end{gathered}

Therefore, the distance between the points (-5,4) and (8,-3) is: √218.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants intersect a circle from a point outside the circle, then

The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is

x(x + 10 + x) = 6(6 + 10 + x)

x(2x + 10) = 6(16 + x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

2x² + 10x = 96 + 6x ← subtract 96 + 6x from both sides

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ← in standard form

Divide through by 2

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← factor the left side

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6 → C

How to get x by it's self 12 - 12x = -6x + 48
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - 12x = -6x + 48

Add 12x to both sides. That eliminates the x term on the left side.

12 = 6x + 48

Subtract 48 from both sides. That eliminates the constant term on the right side.

-36 = 6x

x = -6
