Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the distance between two points, you find the difference between the x values, square that, find the difference between the y values, square that, add the two numbers you got, and then find the square root.

We find the difference between the x values.

-7-2=-9

Square it.

-9²=81

We find the difference between the y-values.

5--3

5+3=8

We square it.

8²=64

We add the numbers we got.

81+64=145

We square root.

√145≈12.04

This formula comes from the Pythagorean Theorem! Now you can find the distance between any two points! Have a wonderful day! :D

$34,300 loan at 3.5% for 4 months.

cestrela7 [59]

keeping in mind that 4 months is not even a year, since there are 12 months in a year, 4 months is then 4/12 years.

let's assume is simple interest.

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$34300\\ r=rate\to 3.5\%\to \frac{3.5}{100}\dotfill &0.035\\ t=years\to \frac{4}{12}\dotfill &\frac{1}{3} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=34300\left[ 1+(0.035)\left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \right]\implies A= 34300(1.011\overline{6})\implies A=34700.1\overline{6}$
