Answer:

$d=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step 1: Define endpoint coordinates

(2, 5)

(-6, -1)

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

$d=\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(-1-5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{64+36}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$d=10$

1-Describe the error in the way the calculation of the slope of the two points is set up and/or solved. Please be specific. Do n

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Please check explanations for answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s have two points (5,10) and (15,20)

1. Let’s find the slope of these two points

Mathematically, the slope can be calculated using the formula;

m = (y2-y1)/(x1-x2)

So m = (20-10)/(5-15) = 10/-10 = -1

The error here is the formula used in calculating the slope

The formula should be;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and not x1-x2

2. To calculate the slope correctly, we have;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

So the slope will be;

m = (20-10)/(15-5) = 10/10 = 1

In the point slope form, the equation can be represented as;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Let’s use the point (5,10)

y- 10 = 1(x-5)

The above is the point slope form

using one of the points and the correct slope of the line

A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal, as shown (see figure):

Anestetic [448]

The answer
let p' be the corresponding angle of the angle p (that is because of the prallelism and the transversal, look the image)
but p' and p are correspondant angles implies p'=p,
looking at the figure, p' and q are opposite angles
so q=p' and p'=p implies q=p
the answer is
<span>p = q</span>
