Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( -6 - -5)/( -1 - -3)

= ( -6+5)/( -1+3)

=-1/ 2

Find XS, VY, and YZ. I am very confused on what to do.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Do you see the lines and how they are named? I am going to try and explain this in less words than I can. Where it says XS you have to match it up with the lines. But if it says that you have to find XSU (which it does not) you would have to go up all the way but you stop where it says the S so you wont go all the way up to the U. I hope this helps!

After drawing the line y = 2x − 1 and marking the point A = (−2, 7), Kendall is trying to decide which point on the line is clos

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having drawn the line, Kendall must verify that the point P belongs to the line y = 2x-1 and then calculate the distance between A-P and verify if it is the closest to A or there is another one of the line

Having the point P(3,5) substitue x to verify y

y=2*(3)-1=6-1=5 (3,5)

Now if the angle formed by A and P is 90º it means that it is the closest point, otherwise that point must be found

$d_{AP}=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}=\sqrt{(5-7)^{2}+(3-(-2}))^{2}}=\\\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(5)^{2}}=\sqrt{29}$
