Answer:

6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the distance between two points in the XY coordinate plane.

The formula to calculate this distance is:

d = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2)

where dx is the difference between the X coordinate of the points, dy is the difference between the Y coordinate of the points, and d is the distance.

(sqrt is the square root of what is in the parenthesis)

The first point (April's king) has X=4 and Y=2, the second point (the opponent's king) has X=7 and Y=8.

So, we have that dx = 4-7 = -3 and dy = 2-8 = -6

Now, we calculate the distance:

d = sqrt[ (-3)^2 + (-6)^2 ] = sqrt(9+36) = sqrt(45) = 6.7082 = 6.7

mr Goodwill [35]
Y = 0 + 2

Since it is a horizontal line, the slope is m = 0.

For the y-intercept, the line passes through 2 so therefore, the y-intercept is 2 positive.
