Answer:
Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.
Distance
=
√(x2−x1)^2 + (y2−y1)^2
Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.
√ ( (−6) − 0)^2 +( (−3) − 4)^2
Subtract 0 from −6
√(−6)^2 + ( ( −3 ) −4 )^2
Raise −6 to the power of 2
√36 + ( ( −3 ) −4 )^2
Subtract 4 from −3
√36 + ( −7 )^2
Raise −7 to the power of 2
√ 36 + 49
Add 36 and 49
√85
225=4x
x=225/4
1.6m=-4
Divide both sides by 1.6 to get m by itself
1.6m/1.6=-4/1.6
m=-4/1.6
m=-2.5
Answer: m=-2.5
