3 0

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation: First, factor out 3.6. You should get -m+3. Since the coefficient is just the number being multiplied to the variable (which is m here), your coefficient should be -1 because m is being multiplied to -1 to make -m. Hope this helps!

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a. 1,000 yards

b. (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of Ben's House = (6, 2)

Coordinates of Kate's House = (-2, -4)

a. Number of yards between Kate and Ben's House using instance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ .

$d = \sqrt{(6 -(-2))^2 + (2 -(-4))^2}$

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

$d = \sqrt{64 + 36}$

$d = \sqrt{100}$

$d = 10 units$

1 unit = 100 yards

Therefore, 10 units = 1,000 yards.

Kate and Ben's House are 1,000 yards apart.

b. Since Jason's home is halfway between Ben and Kate's House, therefore, Jason's location is the midpoint between Ben and Kate's House. Use the midpoint formula to calculate the coordinates of Jason's location on the map, using (6, 2) and (-2, -4).
