Answer: b=9

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope we use: y2-y1/x2-x1

Which would then be: 5-b/-2-7= 5-b/-9

Then we have to find a number for b that would give us -4 as the numerator. That number would be 9

This would give us 4/9 which is the slope we already had.

Find the distance between the points (-3, 11) and (5, 5).

marshall27 [118]

Formula for distance between two points:

d = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)

Let point 1 be (-3, 11) and point 2 be (5, 5)

Therefore x₁ = -3, y₁ = 11, x₂ =5, y₂ = 5, and substituting in the formula above.

d = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)

   = √((5- -3)² + (5-11)²)

   = √((5+3)² + (5-11)²)

   = √((8)² + (-6)²) 8² = 8*8 = 64, (-6)² = -6*-6 = 36

   = √(64 + 36)

= √(100)

= 10

Distance = 10 units.
