Find the distance between the points given. (-3, -6) and (3, 2)
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (-3, -6) to (3, 2), x increases by 6.  Draw a triangle and use this 6 as the length of the base.  y increases by 8.  Label the height of the triangle with this 8.  Then find the hypotenuse (which is also the desired distance) by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

6^2 + 8^2 = d^2, where d is that distance:

36 + 64 = 100 = d^2, and so d = 10.  The distance in question is 10 units.

Explain how to find the slope of a line through two points on a table
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

you use slope formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=21-11/5-3=15.8

Step-by-step explanation:

so the 3 points you have are (-1,-9) (3,11) (5,21)

so i'm going to choose (3,11) and (5,21) 3 is x1 11 is y1

                                                                5 is x2 11 is y2

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=21-11/5-3=15.8

good luck :)

hopefully, this helps

have a great day !!

How may solutions does -3(x-2)=6-3x have
ioda

Answer:

Every real number is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

−3 (x − 2) = 6 − 3x

(−3) (x) + (−3) (−2) = 6 + −3x

−3x + 6 = 6 + −3x

−3x + 6 = −3x + 6

−3x + 6 + 3x = −3x + 6 + 3x

6 = 6

6 - 6 - 0

0=0
