It would be -5 because 4- 3*12/4 = -5
Hope this helps
Have a great day/night
Answer:
Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is used to find the distance between two points in the plane. The Pythagorean Theorem,
a
2
+
b
2
=
c
2
, is based on a right triangle where a and b are the lengths of the legs adjacent to the right angle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. The relationship of sides
|
x
2
−
x
1
|
and
|
y
2
−
y
1
|
to side d is the same as that of sides a and b to side c. We use the absolute value symbol to indicate that the length is a positive number because the absolute value of any number is positive. (For example,
|
−
3
|
=
3
. ) The symbols
|
x
2
−
x
1
|
and
|
y
2
−
y
1
|
indicate that the lengths of the sides of the triangle are positive. To find the length c, take the square root of both sides of the Pythagorean Theorem.
c
2
=
a
2
+
b
2
→
c
=
√
a
2
+
b

It follows that the distance formula is given as
d
2
=
(
x
2
−
x
1
)
2
+
(
y
2
−
y
1
)
2
→
d
=
√
(
x
2
−
x
1
)
2
+
(
y
2
−
y
1
)
2
We do not have to use the absolute value symbols in this definition because any number squared is positive.
A GENERAL NOTE: THE DISTANCE FORMULA
Given endpoints
(
x
1
,
y
1
)
and
(
x
2
,
y
2
)
, the distance between two points is given by
d
=
√
(
x
2
−
x
1
)
2
+
(
y
2
−
y
1
)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3) Prove the lengths are the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruent is a measure of the lengths of the sides not the slopes.
20 less than (-20) a number (n) is more than (>) twice the same number (2n)
-20+n>2n
minus n both sides
-20>n
n<-20
15.6/ (-3) = -5.2
