What is the distance between the two points? (-18, -6) & (-18,-1)

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D² = ( x2 - x1 )² + ( y2 - y1 )²

= [ (-18) - (-18) ]² + [ (-1) - (-6) ]²

= ( -1 + 6 )²

D² = ( 5 )²

hence, D = 5

jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds. At this rate, how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1,760 yards).

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds

using proportion

Find out how many minutes does it take him to run a 1.760 yards (one mile)

$\frac{440}{75}=\frac{1,760}{x}\\\\x=1,760(75)/440\\\\x= 300\ sec$

Convert seconds to minutes

Divide by 60

$300\ sec=300/60=5\ min$

estamos construyendo una carretera que enlace los puntos a = 12 ,21 y b =(17,23) otro punto se encuentra en c =(3,9) es posible

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

we are building a road that links the points a = (12 ,21) and b =(17,23) another point is in c =(3,9) it is possible that a single road allows to join these three points?

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope ab

we have

a = (12 ,21) and b =(17,23)

substitute

$m=\frac{23-21}{17-12}$

$m=\frac{2}{5}$

step 2

Find the slope ac

we have

a = (12 ,21) and c =(3,9)

substitute

$m=\frac{9-21}{3-12}$

$m=\frac{-12}{-9}$

simplify

$m=\frac{4}{3}$

step 3

Compare slopes ab and ac

The slopes are different

That means ----> is not possible that a single road allows to join these three points
