Question

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR ANSWER AND EXPLANATION I HAVE A TEST TOMORROW

Answer 1

I believe you just plug in the distance formula:
$25 = \sqrt{(y - 4) ^{2} + ( - 8 - 2) ^{2} }$
remove the radical by squaring both sides. then remove the exponents. you'll then have
$25 = (y - 4) + ( - 8 - 2)$
$25 = y - 4 - 10$
y equals 39. I'm not entirely sure about this. I hope I answered your question correctly
