Explain how the pythagorean theorem is used to derive the distance formula​
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

In the Pythagorean Theorem, a right triangles hypotenuse is found by a^2 +b^2= c^2. The distance formula is basically the same thing. With two points, a right triangle can be formed and the slop would be the hypotenuse. That's where the distance formula comes from

Ok so
represent number of packages as n
so the total number of uniforms is
(number of uniforms per package) times n aka
8 times n aka
8n

127 employees
each person needs at least 3, therefor
127 times 3=381
they need at least 381
therefor
8n<u>></u>381
divide both sides by 8
n<u>></u>47.625
you can't order a decimal box so you round up so you don't have too less
47.625 goes to 48

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x − 4y = 7 and passes through the point (−4, −2)? Select two options. y
andriy [413]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line parallel to 3x − 4y = 7.  Any such line will have an equation of the same form but a different constant.

If the new line is to pass through the point (-4, -2), replace x with -4 and y with -2.  We obtain:

3(-4) − 4(-2) = -12 + 8 = -4.  Thus, the desired new equation is 3x − 4y = -4.

This could also be written as 3x − 4y + 4 = 0.  We could also solve this for y, obtaining:

3x + 4 = 4y, or  y = (3/4)x + 1.
