Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

they give you points that are variable instead of numbers

P1=(a,0)

P2=(0,b)

also a and b are the length of that side of the triangle

MP = $\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2} }$

then what ever a and b are.. you're set

to show your work you could use the distance formula which will give you the same thing above

MP = $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2} }$

MP = $\sqrt{(-a)^{2}+b^{2} }$

which is just the formula above :)

Correct option is D. Distance d = 100 + 1.25 x

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction. When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.

An example of linear equation is y=mx + b. A polynomial equation of the first degree (such as x = 2y - 7)
A linear equation is an algebraic equation where each term has an exponent of 1 and when this equation is graphed, it always results in a straight line. This is the reason why it is named as a 'linear equation'.

-2y>12x-42
y<21-6x
so a is true
