Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form.
1 answer:
They are using the point (2, 8) to write this equation. You know that because of the "y-8" in the equation, and also because it's bolded! lol. Anyways, what's missing is the slope and the x value from our point. The slope is -2. Find this by picking 2 points on the line and putting those into the slope equation. Use the bolded point and the x-intercept: (2,8) and (6,0):
. As stated earlier the x coordinate in the bolded point is 2. So our equation is y-8=-2(x-2). And there you Go!

Answer: |3-(-8)|
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Paige lives 3 miles east of her school. Diego lives 8 miles west of the school.
From the picture , the number line represents the position of the houses of the two friends such that position of Paige is 3 but position of Diego is (-8) [since east and west are opposite directions]
We know that, Distance between any two points from A to B= B-A
Since distance is a positive quantity, thus
The distance between them = miles=11 miles
