Ok so first you would create a proportion.
8/x=4/1. Next you cross multiply and divide,
1 • 8÷4=x. Ratios are fractions with the first number being the numerator and the second being the denominator. If you think of it this way, you just find an equivalent fraction. Your answer would be 8:2 because in your proportion x=2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal distance from points (5,-18) and (8,-17) is 3 because it is 3 units from 5 to 8. The vertical distance is 1 since it is one unit from -18 to -17. Now we can use the equation
where a=3 and b=1 and c is the distance that you are looking for:
