What is the approximate distance between the points (1,-2) and (-9,3) on a coordinate grid

Answer:

11,18

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put those points (1,-2) and (-9,3) on a coordinate grid

You get an triangle that has a right angle (90°) with sides:

-5 and 10 (a,b)

(x1,y1)=(1,-2)

(x2,y2)=(-9,3)

x1-x2=1-(-9)=10

y1-y2=-2-3=-5

Then you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate c, which is the hypotenuse (the shortest distance between the two points):

Start with: a^2 + b^2 = c^2  

Put in what we know: (-5^2)+(10^2)= c^2

Calculate squares: 25 + 100 = c^2

Swap sides: c^2 = 125

Square root of both sides: c = √125

Calculate: c = 11,18

<u>Answer</u>

5\sqrt{5} ≈ 11.1803398874989485


<u>Detailed Explanation </u>


We will be using the distance formula for this problem


\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}


Now, let's input the numbers into the formula.


\sqrt{\left(-9-1\right)^2+\left(3-\left(-2\right)\right)^2}


Solve.


Therefore, the distance between the two points is

5\sqrt{5} ≈ 11.1803398874989485

<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>

A colony of flowers is pollinated by hummingbirds and sunbirds. Let H represents the number of hummingbirds and S represent the number of sunbirds that must pollinate the colony so it can survive until next year.

6H+ 4S> 74

This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony. What is the least number of sun birds that must pollinate the colony to ensure that it will survive until next year?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The least number of sun birds is 7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given inequality is:

6H + 4S > 74

Where,

H is the number of hummingbirds

S is the number of sunbirds

This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony

Substitute H = 8 in given inequality

6(8) + 4S > 74

48 + 4S > 74

Subtract 48 from both sides

48 + 4S - 48 > 74 - 48

4S > 26

Divide both sides by 4

S > 6.5

Hence the least number of sun birds is 7

What slope would make the lines<br> parallel?<br> y = -3x + 9<br> y = [?]x + 4
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 3x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 3x + 4 ← is the equation of a parallel line
