Find the distance between points p(8, 2) and q(3, 8) to the nearest tenth.
grandymaker [24]
Distance between two points, d, is given by
d= \sqrt{ ( x_{2} - x_{1}) ^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1}) ^{2} }

where: (x1, y1) = (8, 2) and (x2, y2) = (3, 8)
d= \sqrt{ ( 3 - 8) ^{2} + (8 - 2) ^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{ (-5)^{2} + 6^{2} }  \\ d= \sqrt{25+36}  \\ d= \sqrt{61}  \\ d=7.8 \ units

Anna is saving to buy some souvenirs on a family vacation. She has already saved $125, and she saves another $2 from her
FinnZ [79.3K]

We can assume that the y-intercept for this equation is 125, because that would be how much Anna already has saved before she begins saving money from her allowance. Then, we know that Anna adds $2 to her savings each day from the problem, so we know that the slope will be positive 2 then.

Equation:

y = 2x + 125

Graph:

Attached below

Hope this helps!! :)
