Answer:

7.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is always positive and is same as the absolute value of subtraction of the two numbers on the line.

<u>This can be shown as:</u>

|-3/2 - 6| =
|-1.5 - 6| =
|-7.5| =
7.5

| 6 - (-3/2)| =
|6 + 1.5| =
|7.5| =
7.5

Answer:

15/2 or 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = x_2 - x_1

Distance = 6 - (-3)/2

Distance = 6 + 3/2

Distance = 12 + 3/2

Distance = 15/2 or 7.5

Find the radius of the circle if the center is at (1, 2) and the point (-3, 4) lies on the circle.

Anton [14]

Answer:

2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is the distance from the center to a point anywhere along the edge of the circle. To find the distance between these two points, use the distance formula.

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(1--3)^2 + (2-4)^2}\\ d = \sqrt{4^2 + -2^2}\\ d = \sqrt{16 + 4}\\ d = \sqrt{20} \\d = 2\sqrt{5}$
