As we go from (-6,6) to (9,1), x increases by 15 and y decreases by 5. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -5/15, or m = -1/3.
Point-slope form: y-6 = (-1/3)(x+6), using data from (-6,6).
Slope-intercept form: starting with y = mx + b, substit. -6 for x, 6 for y and -1/3 for m:
6 = (-1/3)(-6) + b, or
6 = 2 + b. Then b = 4, and the equation in slope-intercept form is
y = (-1/3)x + 4.
Answer:
• David
,
• 4 miles
Explanation:
In the graph:
The given locations are:
• Owen's House, A(11,3)
,
• David's House, B(15,13)
,
• School, C(3,18)
We determine both Owen's and David's distance from the school using the distance formula.

Owen's distance from school (AC)
![\begin{gathered} AC=\sqrt[]{(3-11)^2+(18-3)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(-8)^2+(15)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{64+225} \\ =\sqrt[]{289} \\ AC=17\text{ miles} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20AC%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%283-11%29%5E2%2B%2818-3%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28-8%29%5E2%2B%2815%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B64%2B225%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B289%7D%20%5C%5C%20AC%3D17%5Ctext%7B%20miles%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
David's distance from school (BC)
![\begin{gathered} BC=\sqrt[]{(3-15)^2+(18-13)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(-12)^2+(5)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{144+25} \\ =\sqrt[]{169} \\ BC=13\text{ miles} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20BC%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%283-15%29%5E2%2B%2818-13%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28-12%29%5E2%2B%285%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B144%2B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B169%7D%20%5C%5C%20BC%3D13%5Ctext%7B%20miles%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
We see from the calculations that David lives closer to the school, and by 4 miles.
The graph below is attached for further understanding:
A (-5, 6)
B (-5, 2)
C (-9, 2)
D (-9, 6)
As it is just a rotation around the origin by 180, you can just change the sign in front of the numbers :)
