The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have:

(2,\ k)\to x_1=2,\ y_1=k\\(0,\ -6)\to x_2=0,\ y_2=-6\\d=5-\sqrt5

Substitute:

\sqrt{(0-2)^2+(-6-k)^2}=5-\sqrt5\\\\\sqrt{(-2)^2+[-(6+k)]^2}=5-\sqrt5\\\\\sqrt{4+(6+k)^2}=5-\sqrt5\ \ \ \ \ |^2\\\\4+(6+k)^2=(5-\sqrt5)^2\ \ \ \ |use\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

4+(6+k)^2=5^2-2\cdot5\cdot\sqrt5+(\sqrt5)^2\\\\4+(6+k)^2=25-10\sqrt5+5\ \ \ \ |-4\\\\(6+k)^2=26-10\sqrt5\to6+k=\pm\sqrt{26-10\sqrt5}\ \ \ \ |-6\\\\\boxed{k=-6-\sqrt{26-10\sqrt5}\ \vee\ k=-6+\sqrt{26-10\sqrt5}}

If d=\sqrt5, then:

\sqrt{4+(6+k)^2}=\sqrt5\ \ \ \ |^2\\\\(\sqrt{4+(6+k)^2})^2=(\sqrt5)^2\\\\4+(6+k)^2=5\ \ \ \ |-4\\\\(6+k)^2=1\to 6+k=\pm\sqrt1\\\\6+k=\pm1\ \ \ \ |-6\\\\\boxed{k=-7\ \vee\ k=-5}

In 1997 the interest category for 12% of all new magazines was sports. This describes a parameter. True or false
algol13
False ....a parameter is something YOU can change, like asking magazines if they are interested in sports, or interested in photography, or something else. So the 12% is a statistic.
