Answer:

The slope is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line must pass through the points (10,-3) and (10,-8), meaning that it must be vertical. The slope of a line is undefined if the line is vertical.

Explain the distance formula. Then use it to calculate the

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$dAB=10\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The distance formula is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

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

we have

A(1, 1) and B(7, −7)

Let

(x1,y1)=A(1, 1)

(x2,y2)=B(7, −7)

substitute the given values in the formula

$dAB=\sqrt{(-7-1)^{2}+(7-1)^{2}}$

$dAB=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$dAB=\sqrt{64+36}$

$dAB=\sqrt{100}$

$dAB=10\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept (0, b)

$1.\ \text{Slope is}\ -2\to m=-2,\ \text{y-intercept is}\ -6\to b=-6\\\\\boxed{y=-2x-6}\\\\2.\ \text{Slope is}\ \dfrac{3}{7}\to m=\dfrac{3}{7},\ \text{y-intercept is}\ -1\to b=-1\\\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{3}{7}x-1}\\\\3.\ m=-8,\ b=11\\\\\boxed{y=-8x+11}\\\\4.\ m=0,\ b=-5\\\\\boxed{y=0x-5\to y=-5}\\\\5.\ m=-11,\ \text{y-intercept is}\ (0,\ 13)\to b=13\\\\\boxed{y=-11x+13}$
