Combine like terms (those with same number of variables)

x² + (-3x²) = -x²

-8x + 5x = -3x

5 - 9 = -4

-x² - 3x - 4 is your answer

hope this helps

What is the length of segment CD question mark

blagie [28]

Answer:

CD = two square root of 10 end square root

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of a segment, use the distance formula. Substitute the order pairs for the endpoints of the segment. CD has the end points (-7, -4) and (-1, -2).

$d = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{(-4--2)^2 + (-7--1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{-2^2 + -6^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 36}\\\\d=\sqrt {40} = 2\sqrt{10}$
