Answer:

.016 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

A kilometer is 1000 meters. Divide the length of the markers by 1000 (16/1000) and you get the answer of .016 kilometers.

Answer:

$d_{AB}\ne d_{JK}$

$d_{AB}\ne \:d_{GH}$

$d_{GH}\ne \:d_{JK}$

Therefore,

Option (A) is false

Option (B) is false

Option (C) is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the graph

Given the vertices of the segment AB

A(-4, 4)

B(2, 5)

Finding the length of AB using the formula

$d_{AB}\:=\:\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-4\right)\right)^2+\left(5-4\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(2+4\right)^2+\left(5-4\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{6^2+1}$

$=\sqrt{36+1}$

$=\sqrt{37}$

$d_{AB}\:=\sqrt{37}$

$d_{AB}=6.08$ units

Given the vertices of the segment JK

J(2, 2)

K(7, 2)

From the graph, it is clear that the length of JK = 5 units

$d_{JK}=5$ units

Given the vertices of the segment GH

G(-5, -2)

H(-2, -2)

Finding the length of GH using the formula

$d_{GH}\:=\:\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(-2-\left(-5\right)\right)^2+\left(-2-\left(-2\right)\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(5-2\right)^2+\left(2-2\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{3^2+0}$

$=\sqrt{3^2}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule\:}\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a,\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$d_{GH}\:=\:3$ units

Thus, from the calculations, it is clear that:

$d_{AB}=6.08$

$d_{JK}=5$

$d_{GH}\:=\:3$

Thus,

$d_{AB}\ne d_{JK}$

$d_{AB}\ne \:d_{GH}$

$d_{GH}\ne \:d_{JK}$

Therefore,

Option (A) is false

Option (B) is false

Option (C) is false

Which equation represents the line that contains the point (-2, 9) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 6?

olganol [36]

Y=-1/2x+8

perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2

y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8

Answer:

-11

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to take the absolute value of 12-15 which would be 3. Then take -8-3 which would be -11
