Please help me with this math homework thanks :)
1 answer:
Place a point at (0,-5) because that is the y-intercept (the -5 on the vertical line)
Since the slope is negative two which can be re-written as -2/1 (rise/run) you go down two and to the right once or up two and to the left once, it doesn't matter which. Another point can be placed at (1,-7) or (-3,-1), it still doesn't matter which.
Then you can draw a line connecting the two points.
I hope this helps :)

Answer:
The distance between the hands is √(3)cm ≈ 1.73cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a standard clock, the angle between every number is 30°, therefore the angle between 12 and 2 will be 30° x 2 = 60°.
Looking at the diagram, to find c we can make use of our cosine formula
c² = a² + b² –2abCos(C°)
a = 2, b = 1 and C° = 60°
Therefore we have:
c² = 2² + 1² –2 x 2 x 1 x cos(60°) =
c² = 4 + 1 – 4 x 0.5 =
c² = 5 – 2 =
c² = 3
c = √(3) ≈ 1.73
Therefore, the distance between the hands is √(3)cm ≈ 1.73cm.
