Answer:

A. D=sqrt( (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is the root of the sum of the squares of the differences in their corresponding coordinates. The equation of choice A is the usual formulation.

<em>Comment on answer choices</em>

Because the square of a number is the same as the square of its opposite, the formula in choice D is also correct.

Answer:

Equation of line in slope-intercept form that passes through (4, -8) and is perpendicular to the graph $y= \frac {2}{5} x - 3$ is below

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the equation $y= \frac{2}{5} x -3$ is $m_1 = \frac{2}{5}$

Since slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other, therefore slope of other line is given as

$m_2 = - \frac {1}{m_1} = - \frac {5}{2}$

Equation of line in point slope form is given as

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

Here (x1, y1) = (4, -8)

$y+8 = - \frac{5}{2} (x-4)$

Simplifying it further

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + \frac {5}{2} 4 - 8$

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$

Answer:

32.8

Step-by-step explanation:

C^2 - B^2 = A^2

34.6 ^2 - 11^2 = A^2

1197.16 - 121 = A^2

1076.16 = A^2
