The distance formula is:

We are given two points in the form (x,y), so plug in the values to the distance formula:

Next we can simplify. We know that 12-12 is 0, so we can drop it from the equation, as it will not affect our answer. Also, we know that -10-15 is -25:

The square and square root cancel each other out leaving us with 25.
The answer is 25.
Are you solving for x or y?
Answer:
x intercepts -sqrt(5), + sqrt(5)
y intercept -5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 -5
to find the x intercept set y=0 and solve for x
0 = x^2-5
add 5 to each side
5 = x^2
take the square root of each side
+- sqrt(5) = sqrt(x^2)
x = +-sqrt(5) there are 2 x intercepts since it is a quadratic
to find the y intercept set x=0 and solve for y
y = 0-5
y = -5
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start by plugging in our (a) value
a^2 + 5a + 4
(-5)^2 + 5(-5) +4
25 - 25 + 4
0 + 4
4 is your final answer!
