Answer:  The equation that represents this situation is -3x = 21. The second number is -7 (option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the correct option is C.

We have to analyze the information given to write the equation and corroborate the option chosen.

So:

first number = -3  

Product means the result of multiplication, in this case, the product is number 21.

Mathematically speaking:

-3x= 21

x = 21/-3

x = -7

In conlclusion, he equation that represents this situation is -3x = 21. The second number is -7 (option C).

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

As an example

(x₁, y₁ ) = (1,2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5,3), then

d = \sqrt{(5-1)^2+(3-2)^2} = \sqrt{4^2+1^2} = \sqrt{16+1} = \sqrt{17}

Now let (x₁, y₁ ) = (5,3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1,2), then

d = \sqrt{(1-5)^2+(2-3)^2} = \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-1)^2} = \sqrt{16+1} = \sqrt{17}
