Answer:

<em>Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate points (-2, -3) and (2, -5)

We are to find the distance between the two points

Using the formula:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

From the coordinates x1 = -2, y1 = -3, x2 = 2 and y2 = -5

Substitute

D = √(2-(-2))²+(-5-(-3))²

D= √(4)²+(-2)²

D = √16 + 4

D = √20

D = √4*√5

D = 2√5

<em>This shows that Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

Answer:Sample Response: No, Riko is not correct. The points do not have the same x-coordinates. If you connect the points, they do not form a horizontal or vertical line, so you cannot count spaces or use absolute value to find the distance.

To simplify <span>2x + 8 = -6, the easiest way is to manipulate the equation one step at a time:

</span>2x + 8 = <span>-6
</span>2x = <span>-14             (subtract 8 from both sides)
</span>x = -7                 (divide both sides by 2)

A box of pancake mix has `6` cups of mix.
kenny6666 [7]

The fraction of the box of pancake that eliza used is; 1/8.

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

We are told that the box of pancake mix has 6 cups.

Now, Eliza uses 3/4 of a cup for a recipe.

Since there are 6 cups in the box, it means the fraction of the box of pancake that Eliza used is;

(3/4)/6 = 3/24 = 1/8

In conclusion, the fraction of the box of pancake that eliza used is 1/8.

The distance between my house and Memphis is 150 km. If I drive in my car, it takes me 72 min to make the first 100 km of the dr
Cloud [144]

Set up a ratio:

You drove 72 minutes and 100 km = 72/100

You want the number of minutes (x) to drive 150 km = x/150

Set the ratios to equal each other and solve for x:

72/100 = x/150

Cross multiply:

(72 * 150) = 100 * x)

Simplify:

10,800/100x

Divide both sides by 100:

x = 10800/100 = 108

This means it would take 108 minutes to drive 150 km.

Now subtract the time you have already driven to fin how much more you need:

180 - 72 = 36 more minutes.

What is the directrix of the following graph?<br> X = -3<br> Y= 3<br> Y = -3<br> X = 3
kaheart [24]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the parabola is (1,4) and the axis of the parabola is parallel to the positive y-axis.

So, the equation of the parabola will be (x - 1)² = 4a(y - 4) ....... (1)

Now, we have to get the value of a since the equation id the directrix is y = 4 - a.

Now, the parabola passes through the point (3,5) {Obtained from the graph).

Therefore, from equation (1), we get, 2² = 4a × 1, ⇒a = 1

Therefore, the equation of the directrix is y = 4 - 1 = 3. (Answer)
