The slope is gonna be 3
the equation will be y=3x+20
Answer: The correct option is (A)
Option (A) is correct.
Given:
Positions of two artifacts are at points (1, 4) and (5, 2).
To find:
The distance between these two artifacts.
Solution:
Distance formula: The distance between two points is

Using distance formula, the distance between two points (1, 4) and (5, 2) is





Round to the nearest tenth of a unit.

Therefore, the distance between two artifacts is 4.5 units.
X=3 and y=-5/2. Here is why, when we do 7x+5x that gives us 12x. -2y+2y=0 and then we have 16 plus 20 which gives us 36. Now we gotta isolate x which right now we have 12x=36. Therefore divide by 12 to get x alone, which 36 divided by 12 is equal to 3. X=3. Plug it back into the equation, 7(3)=21 plus 2y=16. Subtract 21 from both sides 16-21 is equal to -5. Then 2y=-5 divide by 2 on both sides you will have -5/2=y or y=-5/2. Hope this helps!
