Answer:

y = -x- 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$

$y-2=-1(x-(-7))$

$y-2=-(x+7)$

$y=-x-7+2$

$y=-x-5$

I hope this help you

You do parenthesis first right? And then do division?

IrinaK [193]

Yes. Parenthesis first, then if any exponents, then multiplication or division, then addition and subtraction. PEMDAS.

Kaya used these steps to solve the equation 7 + 2x = 2(x - 1) + 4. Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 7 = 2?

Whitepunk [10]

Answer is A

7 + 2X = 2(X-1) + 4

7 + 2X = 2X-2+4

7 + 2X = 2X + 2 whether 2X = 2X-5 or 5 + 2X = 2X still 0 = 5 Or 0= -5 which is not possible

Find the distance between (-1,-2) and (8,9)

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

$\sqrt{202}$ units or 14.2 units (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between a pair of two points, use the distance formula $d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ . Substitute the x and y values of (-1,-2) and (8,9) into the formula and simplify:

$d = \sqrt{(-1-8)^2+(-2-9)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(-9)^2+(-11)^2} \\d = \sqrt{81+121} \\d= \sqrt{202}$

So, as an exact answer, the distance is $\sqrt{202}$ units.

(To find the decimal approximate of that answer, enter it into a calculator. This would make the decimal approximate 14.2 units, when rounded to the nearest tenth.)
