Answer:
17 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define:
North as the positive y-axis
East as the positive x-axis.
We know that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place.
Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place.
So, if we define the origin, (0, 0) as Laura's place.
From:
"that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place."
We have that the location of Kevin's house is 15 miles west from Laura's place, then Kevin's house is at:
(0, 0) + (-15mi, 0) = (-15mi, 0)
From Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place, we know that Michelle's live 8 miles north of Kevin's place.
Then the location of Michele's house is the location of Kevin's plus (0, 8mi).
Michelle's house is located at:
(-15mi, 0) + (0, 8mi) =(-15mi, 8mi)
Now we want to find the distance between Michelle's house and Laura's house.
Michelle's house is at (-15mi, 8mi)
Laura's house is at (0mi, 0mi)
Remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by:
Then the distance between (-15mi, 8mi) and (0mi, 0mi) is:
The correct option is the first one, 17 miles.
Answer:
2 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx-b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
The point-slope form of a line is y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
The standard form a line is ax+by=c.
So anyways parallel lines have the same slope.
So if we are looking for a line parallel to 3x-4y=7 then we need to know the slope of this line so we can find the slope of our parallel line.
3x-4y=7
Goal: Put into slope-intercept form
3x-4y=7
Subtract 3x on both sides:
-4y=-3x+7
Divide both sides by -4:
Simplify:
So the slope of this line is 3/4. So our line that is parallel to this one will have this same slope.
So we know our line should be in the form of .
To find b we will use the point that is suppose to be on our new line here which is (x,y)=(-4,-2).
So plugging this in to solve for b now:
so the equation of our line in slope-intercept form is
So that isn't option 1 because the slope is different. That was the only option that was in slope-intercept form.
The standard form of a line is ax+by=c and we have 2 options that look like that.
So let's rearrange the line that we just found into that form.
Clear the fractions because we only want integer coefficients by multiplying both sides by 4.
This gives us:
Subtract 3x on both sides:
I don't see this option either.
Multiply both sides by -1:
I do see this as a option. So far the only option that works is 2.
Let's look at point slope form now.
We had the point that our line went through was (x1,y1)=(-4,-2) and the slope,m, was 3/4 (we found this earlier).
y-y1=m(x-x1)
Plug in like so:
y-(-2)=3/4(x-(-4))
y+2=3/4 (x+4)
So option 5 looks good too.
