Plot and connect the points A (2, -2), B (-4, -4), C (-4, -1), D (-2, 3), E (1, 3), F (2, 5), and find the length of BC.

Answer:
BC = 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points:
- A = (2, -2)
- B = (-4, -4)
- C = (-4, -1)
- D = (-2, 3)
- E = (1, 3)
- F = (2, 5)
<u>Plot the points</u> on the coordinate plane (x, y) and connect them in alphabetical order with straight lines (see attached).
From visual inspection of the <u>drawn polygon</u>, we can see that the length of BC is 3 units.
It is fairly simple to calculate the length of BC without plotting the points.
As points B and C have the same x-value, this means that the distance between them is simply the difference between their y-values.
⇒ distance = |-4 - (-1)| = |-3| = 3 units
Answer:
-7
General Formulas and Concepts:
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
x₁ - x coordinate
y₁ - y coordinate
m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define function</u>
y - 4 = -7(x - 6)
<u>Step 2: Break function</u>
Point (4, 6)
Slope <em>m</em> = -7
