Take second equation here,
2x + 9 = -12
2x = -12 - 9
2x = -21
Multiply by 2,
4x = -42
Now, substitute the vaue of 4x in 1st equation,
-42 - y = 2
-y = 2 + 42
y = -44
In short, Your Answer would be -44
Hope this helps!
I would say that the answer is B
Solving for the midpoint:
x - coordinate: (7.6 + 4.6)/2 = 6.1
y - coordinate: (10.1 + 3.1)/2 = 6.6
Midpoint: (6.1 , 6.6)
Solving for the distance:
Distance formula: sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )
D = sqrt( (7.6 - 4.6)^2 + (10.1 - 3.1)^2 <span>)
D = sqrt( 3^2 + 7^2)
D = sqrt(58)
D = 7.62 units
Distance = 7.62 units</span>
