Find the distance from the point (4,2) to the line y= −2.

Answer:

The distance is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest distance from the point (4,2) to the line y=-2, in this case, would be a straight line perpendicular to y=-2.

For each and every value of "x" on the line, y = -2. The shortest distance occurs at y(4) = - 2.

At this point the distance is:

d^{2} =(4 - 4)^{2} + (2-(-2))^{2} \\d^{2} =4 ^{2}\\\\d = 4

The distance is 4.

64 is the answer, as all you need to figure out is the length, and width, and multiply them together. Or, just count each unit inside the shape.

Negative means less.

Positive means more.

as a negative # moves farther away from 0, it becomes smaller.

i.e.

-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

-5 less than 7.

Since it is the midpoint we can say:
12x  - 1 = 8x +11
All we have do to is get all the x's alone on one side

12x - 1 = 8x + 11
12x = 8x + 12    (add both sides by 1)
4x = 12   (subtract both sides by 8x)
x = 3       (divide both sides to get what x is)

Answer:

25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a hailstorm varies directly

with the amount of time that it was in a cloud.

Radius = k x Time (in the cloud)

k is the constant of proportionality

R = k x T

0.5 = k x 10

k = 0.5/10

k = 0.05

Formula: R = 0.05 x T

1.25 = 0.05 x T

Time = 1.25/0.05

Time = 25 seconds.

Hope this helps :) !
