The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean Theorem:
Distance = Square Root [(X2 - X1)^2<span> + (Y2 - Y1)^</span>2<span>]
</span>Distance = Square Root [(7 -1)^2 + (-7 -1)^2]
Distance = Square Root [ 6^2 + -8^2]Distance = Square Root [ 36 + 64 ]Distance = Square Root [100 ]Distance = 10

Step-by-step explanation:
In the expression a^n, for integer values of n greater than 1, there are n factors. For example, a^2 = a * 2 (2 factors), a^3 = a * a * a (3 factors), etc.
For a non-negative value of a, a^n is non-negative for all values of n.
If a is negative, and n is even, then a^n is non-negative.
If a is negative, and n is odd, then a^n is negative.
|a| is non-negative for all values of a.
sqrt_n(a^n) is negative for negative a and odd n, but |a| is always non-negative, so sqrtn(a^n) cannot equal |a| for odd n.

Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!

Answer:
choice. c.) (5, 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(5, 4) and (5, -3)
Use midpoint formula ( (a + x)/2 , (b + y)/2) for (a,b), (x,y)
midpoint = ( (5+5)/2, (4+- 3)/2) = (5, 1/2)
