Find the distance between 2-4i and d 6+i

liq [111]

Answer:

7.211

Step-by-step explanation:

-For two points in the complex plane, the distance between the points is the modulus of the of the difference of the two complex numbers.

-Point 2-4i has the coordinates (2,-4)

-Point 6+i has the coordinates (6,1)

#We must find the distance between the two coordinates (2,-4) and (6,1):

$=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(1--4)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{4^2+6^2}\\\\=\sqrt{52}\\\\=7.211$

Hence, the distance between the two points is 7.211

Given the points (5, 2) and (7, 10) find the slope of the line going through the two points . Now write the point-slope form of

drek231 [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is specified as the ratio y/x. that indicates how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.

so, going e.g. from (5, 2) to (7, 10), x changes from 5 to 7 = +2 units. and y changes from 2 to 10 = +8 units.

so, the slope y/x = m = 8/2 = 4

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope

(x1, y1) = coordinates of one point on the line. let's pick the first point (5, 2).

y - 2 = 4(x - 5)

or then fully simplified (leading to the slope- intercept form) :

y - 2 = 4x - 20

y = 4x - 18

for question 2 we do the same thing for (4, -2) and (0, -5).

x changes from 4 to 0, so, -4 units.

y changes from -2 to -5, so, -3 units.

slope = y/x = m = -3/-4 = 3/4

since there is a 0 included, let's use (0, -5) as point for the point-slope form

y - -5 = 3/4(x - 0)

y + 5 = 3/4 x

so, the last option is correct.

When a number is decreased by 18, the result is 14. what is the number

Serggg [28]

X is the number

when x is decreased by 18, we say 18-x

the result is 14

18-x=14
minus 18 both sides
-x=-32
times both sides by -1
x=32
