PLEASE PLEASE HELP:(((
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

PQ= <em><u>1</u></em><em><u>0</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find intersection of the line ,put y=0 in the equation,cuz points on x axis have ordinate equals to '0'

you have, y=2x+8 ; put y =0,to find it's intersection to x-axis

i.e, 0=2x+8

i.e, 2x= -8

i.e, x= -8/2

i.e, x= -4

Point P is (-4,0)

again, you have y=2x-12, put y=0

i.e,0= 2x-12

i.e, 2x=12

i.e, x=6

Point Q is (6,0)

now distance PQ is

√(6-(-4))^2 +(0-0)^2

i.e, √(10)^2

i.e, 10

distance btwn PQ is 10 unit!

A submarine was hovering 500 ft below the surface of the ocean. It rose 125 feet and then descended 225 feet to avoid detection
Vilka [71]

The submarine was at 500 feet then it went 125 feet up so 500-125=375 then you take that and add 225 feet so 375+225=600
