Answer:  The required distance between the points between A(1, 1) and B(7, −7) is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to explain the distance formula. Also, to calculate the distance between A(1, 1) and B(7, −7).

<em><u>Distance formula :</u></em>  The distance between any two two points with co-ordinates (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

D=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}.

Therefore, the distance between the points A(1, 1) and B(7, −7) is given by

D\\\\=\sqrt{(7-1)^2+(-7-1)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{36+64}\\\\=\sqrt{100}\\\\=10.

Thus, the required distance between the points between A(1, 1) and B(7, −7) is 10 units.

Answer:

dAB=10\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>distance formula</u> is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

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

we have

A(1, 1) and B(7, −7)

Let

(x1,y1)=A(1, 1)

(x2,y2)=B(7, −7)

substitute the given values in the formula

dAB=\sqrt{(-7-1)^{2}+(7-1)^{2}}

dAB=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}

dAB=\sqrt{64+36}

dAB=\sqrt{100}

dAB=10\ units

X(x+3) + 34 = (x +5)(x+2)
My name is Ann [436]
X(x + 3) + 34 = (x + 5)(x + 2)

First, expand to remove parentheses. 
x^{2} + 3x + 34 =  x^{2} + 2x + 5x + 10
Second, add '2x + 5x' to get '7x'.
x^{2} + 3x + 34 =  x^{2}  + 7x + 10
Third, cancel out 'x^{2}' on both sides.
3x + 34 = 7x + 10
Fourth, subtract '3x' from both sides.
34 = 7x + 10 - 3x
Fifth, subtract '7x - 3x' to get '4x'.
34 = 4x + 10
Sixth, subtract '10' from both sides.
34 - 10 = 4x
Seventh, subtract '34 - 10' to get '24'.
24 = 4x
Eighth, divide both sides by '4', leaving the 'x' by itself.
\frac{24}{4} =x
Ninth, since '24 ÷ 4 = 6', simplify the fraction to '6'.
6 = x
Tenth, switch your sides to get the answer.
x = 6

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,0) and (1,0)? Write
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

m=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using:

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

Let's call (2,0) our "2" coordinate, and (1,0) our "1" coordinate.

Coordinates are written as: (x,y)

Therefore, our x2 is 2 and y2 is 0. Our x1 is 1 and y2 is 0.

Substitute these values into the formula .

m=\frac{0-0}{2-1}

m=\frac{0}{1}

m=0

The slope of the line is 0

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

y= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0 is a vertical graph hence the perpendicular graph would be a horizontal line, a y= ____ graph.

Since it passes through the point (-2, -5),

the equation of the line is y= -5.

This would be in slope- intercept form since the gradient of horizontal lines is zero.

y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given that gradient =0, m=0

y= 0x +c

when x= -2, y= -5,

-5= 0(-2) +c

-5= c

c= -5

Thus the equation is y= -5.

Sin(5x+20)
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just like normal algebra, you factor our the common factor, in this case, 5.

Thus,

\sin(5(x + 4))
