Answer:
d = √13
Step-by-step explanation:
d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
points: (-3, 8) & (-1, 5)
d = √((-1 - -3)²+(5 - 8)²)
d = √(2)²+(-3)²
d =√(4 + 9)
d = √13
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 cup = 2/4 cups = 2 × 1/4 cup
Alonzo can make 2 batches that each require 1/4 cup.
Answer:
Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that you wanted to know what 
is.
To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So becomes 
.
This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So 
would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase to 
, you would have to multiply a with two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease to 
, you would have to divide by a 3 times.
If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: 
means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.
Hope this helps.
Look carefully at the first pair: (−3, 9), (−3, −5) Note that x does not change, tho' y does. This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined). The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.
Looking at the second pair: from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.
Third pair: as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis). The slope is undefined.
