Answer:
about 5.3
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the graph for the equation, it crosses through points (0,-8) (-2,4) (-1.6,0) and its vertex is (-2,2)
Hope this helps !!
Solution:
1) Simplify \frac{1}{6}x to \frac{x}{6}
y=\frac{x}{6}-2
2) Add 2 to both sides
y+2=\frac{x}{6}
3) Multiply both sides by 6
(y+2)\times 6=x
4) Regroup terms
6(y+2)=x
5) Switch sides
x=6(y+2)
Done!
The distance between points (3,-5) and (3,-8) is 3.
