On a town map, each unit of the coordinate plane represents 1 mile. Three branches of a bank are located at A(−3, 1), B(1, 4), a

nd C(5, −2). A bank employee drives from Branch A to Branch B and then drives halfway to Branch C before getting stuck in traffic. What is the minimum total distance the employee may have driven before getting stuck in traffic? Round to the nearest tenth of a mile if necessary. The minimum total distance the employee may have driven before getting stuck in traffic is?​

Answer: 8.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Branch A and Branch B is given by the Pythagoras theorem

AB² = (Vertical Distance)² + (Horizontal Distance)²

AB² = (4-1)² + (1 - -3)²

AB² = 3² + 4²

AB² = 9 + 16

AB² = 25

AB = 5

BC² = (Vertical distance)² + (Horizontal distance)²

BC² = (-2 - 4)² + (5-1)²

BC² = (-6)² + (4)²

BC² = 36 + 16

BC² = 52

BC = 7.21

Half way of BC = 7.21 ÷ 2 = 3.6 miles

Total distance travelled from A to B and then halfway from B to C is 3.6+5 = 8.6 miles

Write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form given the information below. Use Point One. point 1=(-1,-1) Point 2-(0,4)
netineya [11]

Answer:

             \bold{y+1=5(x+1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\(-1,\,-1)\ \implies\ x_1=-1\,,\ y_1=-1\\(0,\,4)\ \implies\ x_2=0\,,\ y_2=4\\\\m=\dfrac{4-(-1)}{0-(-1)}=\dfrac{5}{1}=5

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)      - point-slope form of Equation of the Line

x_1=-1\,,\ y_1=-1\,,\ m=5\\\\equation:\\{}\qquad\qquad y-(-1)=5\big(x-(-1)\big)\\\\{}\qquad\qquad y+1=5\big(x+1\big)
