W=winston's age
x=xavier's age

winston is 8 years older than xavier
w=8+x

in 2 years, winston will be twice as old as xavier
w+2=2(x+2)

we have
w=8+x and
w+2=2(x+2)
subsitute 8+x for w

w+2=2(w+2)
8+x+2=2(x+2)
x+10=2(x+2)
x+10=2x+4
minus x both sides
10=x+4
minus 4 both sides
6=x

sub back
w=8+x
w=8+6
w=14

winston is 14 years old now
xavier is 6 years old now

What is an expression for the distance between the origin and a point P(x,y)

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between origin (0, 0) and point (x, y) is given as:

$d = \sqrt{ {(x - 0)}^{2} + {(y - 0)}^{2} } \\ \\ \red{ \bold{ d = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} } }}$

Find the slope (3,6)<br> (3,-3) need in 5 minutes

avanturin [10]

Answer: The slope is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula given, find the difference in the y coordinates of the points and divide it by the x coordinates.

(3,6)

(3,-3)

y coordinates: 6 - (-3) = 9

x coordinates: 3- 3 = 0

9/0 = undefined.

Any number being divided by 0 is undefined because you can't divide something by anything.

Also remember that if a line is vertical through any of the x coordinate, the slope will always be undefined and the equation of line is x = 3
