The order that the pitcher threw is F, C, F, F, C, C, F, F, F then the next five pitches are C, C, C, C, F, F, F, F, F assuming the pitcher maintains this order
ok so say that there is a question that you get and it says 9 (x-2) ok so then you would take the x and replace it with the 9 so then you do (9-2=7 so then you would have x=7
So you can use the distance formula: which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem because normally x2-x1 would kind of give the distance length between x2 and x1 except sometimes it would be negative which wouldn't make much sense right? but it doesn't matter because it's being squared so the value ultimately becomes positive, and the same thing goes for the y-value. the distance between x2 - x1 really represents the base and y2-y1 represents the height and then adding them together gives the hypotenuse squared which is why you take the square root over the entire thing to find the distance, since the hypotenuse is the shortest distance between two points
Now all you have to do is plug the values in to get
