Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be done without the Distance Formula (which is a way to find the distance between any two points in the plane).
The attached image shows the points and segments joining them.
PQ = 5 because the points are on the same horizontal line, and you can count spaces between them (or subtract x-coordinates: 4 - (-1) = 5).
PR = 12 because the points are on the same vertical line; count spaces or subtract y-coordinates, 7 - (-5) = 12.
The triangle is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse.


The perimeter of the triangle is 5 + 12 + 13 = 30
Input is the same as the x-term and output is the same as the y-term.
For example, take a look at the image provided with thee table.
Looking at the first box of our table, notice that if we subtract 5 from 1, we get -4 and if we subtract 5 from 2 we get -3 and if we subtract 5 from 3, we get -2. Notice that in each case, we're subtracting 5 from the input to get the output.
I attached a table so you can practice if you'd like to. All you have to do is subtract 5 from each input and you will end up with the output. The first few are done for you. I also provided an answer key in the next image so you can check your work.
The last one might be a little trick. In the input, we have n which is a variable that represents any number. If we want to find the nth term, we simply subtract 5. So we have n - 5.
First image is practice if you'd like and the second is the key.
If you don't want to do it, no worries.
