When flying from Florida to the Philippines island why does the shortest route pass through Alaska?

Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

The slope of the line below is 2. Which of the following is the the point-slope form of the line?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:  y + 1 = 2 (x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Point on the line is (1, -1) and slope is 2

m = 2

y1 = -1

x1 = 1

y - (-1) = 2 (x - 1) or y + 1 = 2 (x -1)
