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.

I need help with 25 and 26 plzz
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

25.

Combine like terms.

4t+7=-33

subtract 7 from both sides

4t=-40

divide both sides by 4

t=-10

26.

Subtract 2a from both sides

5=7a-16

add 16 to both sides

21=7a

divideby 7 on both sides

a = 3

I'd suggest getting the app photomath or using cymath to help you with these problems. they give you the answer and how to get it step by step

slava [35]
X^2-x-11=-x-7
X^2-11=-7
X^2=4
X=2 (4 was reduced to 2 after the equation was square rooted)

“Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 3/2 and y-intercept -7.”
gregori [183]

Answer:

y = 3/2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept: y = mx + b

m = slope (3/2)

b = y-intercept (-7)

when put together, the equation is y = 3/2x - 7.
