What is the distance between A and B? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

An extension of the Pythagorean Theorem results in what is the so-called "distance formula".

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2, in this case you have points (-2,4) and (2,0) so:

d^2=(2--2)^2+(0-4)^2

d^2=4^2+(-4)^2

d^2=16+16

d^2=2*16

d=√32 units

d=√(2*16)

d=4√2 units

d≈5.66 units (to nearest hundredth of a unit)

If you have learned how to find the line of best fit manually, then you can do it that way. Perhaps you may want to just find a line that can connect at least two of the points and I believe that that line will be able to represent the other points because, in general, the points are pretty close to one another.

If you don't want to do it manually and have a graphing calculator (which I recommend) then you can use that to find the line of best fit (and if you want then you can see how precise your points are with your r^2 value). Or there is a website (http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activity.aspx?id=4186), which you can use to help you to find the equation of that particular line.

Once you have that done, then you can substitute 2009 for the x value in the equation and then see what y value the equation produces. That will then be your answer :)

Nora uses 2 ft of ribbon to make a bow she has 8 yards of ribbon . how many bows can she make

She can make 12 bows because there are 3 feet in one yard so 8*3 is 24. then you divide 24 by 2 and you get 12
