The distance between the origin and (-3,-4) can be modeled with a triangle. The horizontal distance and vertical distance are two legs, and the distance between the origin and the point is the hypotenuse.

Since we are dealing with distance, we will use absolute values for the distances.

The origin is at (0,0), and the point is at (-3,-4). Add the x-values and y-values:

|0 + -3| = |-3| = 3

|0 + -4| = |-4| = 4

The two legs of the triangles are 3 and 4.

We'll use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance. Square the two legs' lengths:

(3^2 + 4^2) = x^2 = (9 + 16) = 25 = x^2

Square root both sides to get x by itself:

\boxed{x = 5}

The distance between the origin and (-3,-4) will be 5.

To find the answer to this question you create a traingle using the origin and the plot given. Then when that is completed you count up which is  a. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-7 <-4

Firstly solve this.

+7 +7

3x<3

÷3 ÷3

x<1

And because the inequality symbol isn't "equal to", the circle isn't coloured in.

The line will go from 1 to behind 0

How would you write odds in favor?
Andrews [41]

Answer: Odds in favor = Number of successes: Number of failures

Step-by-step explanation:

A jewelry box contains 5 white pearl, 2 gold rings and 6 silver rings. What are the odds of drawing a white pearl from the jewelry box?

Number of successes = 5

Number of failures = 2 + 6 = 8

Numbers of ways to draw a white pearl: number of ways to draw another jewelry.

5:8

The odds are 5:8

<span>I can be wrong, but I think that the answer is: To find the values of p, q, r and s, you should start by finding all factor pairs of the leading coefficiant and constant term. </span>
