<span>1- What is the distance formula? distance = </span>√(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²<span>
2- plug in the correct values from the problem, write the diatance formula with substituted values </span>distance = √(4-(-3))² + (-6-5)² <span> 3- simplify the expression, what is the distance between the two points? distance = </span>√170 = 13.04
When you are asked to solve an equation, you need to isolate the variable which is t in this case. To isolate t, you would divide both sides by -5 and be left with t=-6 which is the final answer.
