Answer:

Movie cost $3.5 and the video game cost $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the cost of movies be x

and the cost of video game be y

12x+2y= 53----------1

and

3x+5y= 38-----------2

solve 1 and 2

12x+2y= 53X 5

3x+5y= 38  X2

 60x+10y= 265

- 6x+10y= 76

 54x= 189

x= 189/54

x= $3.5

put x= 3.5 in  1

12(3.5)+2y= 53

42+2y= 53

2y= 53-42

2y= 11

y= 11/2

y= $5.5

Hence the movie cost $3.5 and the video game cost $5.5

<u><em>≡ We know that:</em></u>
⇔ (x_{1},y_{1}) → (-4,-5)
⇔ (x_{2},y_{2}) → (3,-1)

<u><em>≡ Solution:</em></u>
⇒ \sqrt{[(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}]}
⇒ \sqrt{[(3-(-4))^{2}+(-1-(-5))^{2}]}
⇒ \sqrt{[7^{2}+4^{2}]}
⇒ \sqrt{[49+16]}
⇒ \boxed{\sqrt{65}}
