Pam is taking a train from the town of Rome to the town of Florence. Rome is located 40 miles due west of the town of Paris. Flo
rence is 35 miles east, and 55 miles north of Rome. On her trip, how close does Pam get to Paris?

Answer:
Pan is closest to Paris when she gets to Florence when she is 35 miles away
Step-by-step explanation:
With Paris at (0,0), Rome is 40miles west which is on the negative x axis.
Florence is 35 miles closer (east to Paris) so we have -45 + 35 = -10
and 55 mikes north of Rome which is on the positive y-axis. So Florence is at point (-10,55)
The distance between the two points Florence and Paris is √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
x1 = 0, y1 = 0
x2 = -10, y2 = 55
So we have
√(-10-0)^2 + (55-0)^2
= √(-10)^2 + (55)^2
= √ 100 + 3025
= √3125
= 55.9 mikes from Paris
Pam is closest to Paris when she gets to Florence when she is 35 miles away

The graph on #6 describes a scatterplot. Because years of experience is the input, this makes the starting salary our output. Finding the best fitting line in a scatterplot requires the line to follow a trajectory similar to that of the points. As a result, there will be outliers. Since I don't know what "the calculator" is meant by this problem, I have used a different program. I hope it works for you. Good luck.
