<u>It doesn't matter what order the coordinates are in the distance formula as long as it stays in it's corresponding order.</u> In this case, (-7,5) could be (x1,y1) and (3,-5) could be (x2,y2) or vise versa, just as long as you don't mix up the coordinates (so no (-7,-5) or (3,5)). I'll demonstrate this below:

<u>The distance between these points, no matter the order, is √200, or approximately 14.14 units.</u>
Answer:
$13.14
Step-by-step explanation:
60 mi/1 hour = x mi/1.5 hours
x = 90 mi to drive to work
25 mi/1 gallon = 90 mi/y gallons
y = 3.6 gallons to get to work
$3.65/1 gallon = $z/3.6 gallons
z = $13.14
Answer:
- Family 1: $1.850
- Family 2: $1.350
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the total monthly payment is 3200, so if we call Pa (family A`s payment) and Pb (Family B's payment) the payments:
- Pa+Pb=3200
- also, Pa = Pb+500
So if we replace Pa in the first ecuation:
- Pb+500+Pb=3200
- 2Pb= 3200-500
- Pb=2700/2= $1.350
then Pa+Pb=3200 => Pa= 3200-1350= $1.850
Good Luck!
This really depends on the fraction; if there are variables in the equation, if they are full numbers,etc. I'd really recommend looking up khan academy on YouTube and that will really help you out!
