Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf d=\sqrt{170} \ or \  d\approx 13.04}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the length of a segment or the <em>distance</em> between the 2 points. The formula for distance is:

d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

where (x₁ y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points. We are given the points ( -5, 4) and (6, -3). If we match the number and the corresponding variable, it is:

  • x₁= -5
  • y₁= 4
  • x₂= 6
  • y₂ = -3

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= \sqrt{(6--5)^2+(-3-4)^2

Solve inside the parentheses.

  • 6--5 (Back to back negative signs become a positive)= 6+5 =11
  • -3-4= -7

d= \sqrt{(11)^2+(-7)^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (11)²= 11*11= 121
  • (-7)²= -7*-7= 49

d= \sqrt {(121)+(49)

Add.

d= \sqrt {170}

d=13.0384048104

Even though it's not specified, we could round to the nearest hundredth to make the answer more concise. The 8 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 3 to a 4 in the hundredth place.

  • 13.03<u>8</u>4048104

d\approx 13.04

The length of the segment is <u>√170</u> or approximately <u>13.04. </u>

Use the distributive property to factor the expression. 12xy + 28xz
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The factored equation would be 4x(3y + 7z)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, look for the greatest common factor and pull it out. Since both have factors of 4 and both have an x, we pull those out. We then divide each term by 4x to get what is left over.

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x+y=4??
zmey [24]

Answer:

The slope would be 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx +b

m= slope

perpendicular lines have slopes that are multiplied in order to get -1

<em>these are important</em>

<em></em>

2x + y = 4

<u><em>subtract 2x</em></u>

y=-2x +4

your slope is -2

-2 * ? = -1

? = -1/-2

? = 1/2
