<span>Lawmakers in Congress today often vote along party lines, that is, favoring the Democratic or Republican party's stand on an issue. By contrast, in the nation's early history lawmakers tended to vote as representatives of their states, rather than as representatives of a political party.</span>
Answer: If the coordinates are D: (-2,3) and E: (-4.-5)
the distance between the coordinates is about 8.25
Explanation: Use the Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c²
Imagine a triangle formed on the grid of the graph with the difference in y values as the altitude, the difference in x-values as the base and c is the hypotenuse, the distance between the coordinates.
The difference in the y-values is 3 -(-5) = 8
The difference in the x-values is -2 -(-4) = 2
8² + 2² = c²
64 + 4 = 68 To find c, take the square root of c²
√68 = 8.246211251
Rounding to the nearest hundredths, that is 8.25
