Distance between points

and

is

Distance from H to B:
![[tex]d=\sqrt{(10-(-3))^2+(1-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{169+100}=\sqrt{269}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Btex%5Dd%3D%5Csqrt%7B%2810-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%281-%28-9%29%29%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B169%2B100%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B269%7D)
d=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(10-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{16+361}=\sqrt{376}[/tex] units.
Distance from Z to B:

units.
Horse Z is closer to the barn.
(The conversion to meters is not required; the question does not ask for actual distances, so "units" is OK.)
Plug one intercepts: (-1)^2+(-1)b+5=0
(-5)^2+(-5)b+5=0
simplify: 6-b=0
30-5b=0
solve for b: 6=b
30/5=b
