Answer:

C. 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule postulate says that "the distance between two points is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding numbers."

Let the two points be given:

P = 7

Q = 24

And let D be the distance between the two points.

So,

D = │P-Q│ = │7-24│ =│-17│ = 17

So, the correct answer is C. 17

Hope this helps!

Answer:

My answer may not be accurate, but try (-4, 2)

I recommend using Khan Academy if you still don't understand the concept. (no shame btw)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a thorough explanation.

Interval notation is a way of writing subsets of the real number line . A closed interval is one that includes its endpoints: for example, the set {x | −3≤x≤1} . To write this interval in interval notation, we use closed brackets [ ]: [−3,1]

The nth term of a sequence is 20 - n2
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

11

Fifth term

Step-by-step explanation:

The third term is:

20 − (3)² = 11

If the term is negative:

20 − n² < 0

n² > 20

n > √20

n > 4.47

The first term to have a negative value is the fifth term.

What is the answer to Q=1/2p+15, for p​
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: Q=1/2p+15,= p=2q-30= Slope = 1.000/2.000 = 0.500

 p-intercept = -30/1 = -30.00000

 q-intercept = 30/2 = 15

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    p-(2*q-30)=0  

Solve   p-2q+30  = 0

we have an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  p-2q+30  = 0 and calculate its properties

Notice that when p = 0 the value of q is 15/1 so this line "cuts" the q axis at q=15.00000

 q-intercept = 30/2  =  15

When q = 0 the value of p is -30/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the p axis at p=-30.00000

 p-intercept = -30/1  = -30.00000

Slope is defined as the change in q divided by the change in p. We note that for p=0, the value of q is 15.000 and for p=2.000, the value of q is 16.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in p (The change in p is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 16.000 - 15.000 = 1.000 in q. (The change in q is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  1.000/2.000 =  0.500
