Answer:

Those little "sticks" are called absolute value.

For example, the absolute value of 2 is 2, and the absolute value of −2 is also 2. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.

Thus, it doesn't matter if the number is positive or negative. As it only counts its distance from 0, on the number line.

I hope it helps.

Find the distance between the points given.

Maru [420]

Use the distance formula

$d = \sqrt {\left( {x_1 - x_2 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_1 - y_2 } \right)^2$

Input corresponding numbers

$d = \sqrt {\left( {2- 6} \right)^2 + \left( {5-8} \right)^2$

Solve

$d = \sqrt {\left( {-4} \right)^2 + \left( {-3} \right)^2$

$\sqrt{16 + 9}$

$\sqrt{25} = 5\\\\ d=5$

So, the distance between the points given is 5

Choose the best score on a quiz. 24 points out of 42 24 points out of 42 75 points out of 135 75 points out of 135 150 points ou

stellarik [79]

Answer:

150/250

Step-by-step explanation:

24/42, 75/135, 150/250, and 75/150 I believe is what you're asking. We know 75/135 is better than 75/150 so 75/150 is out of the equation. If we multiple 75/135 by 2 we get 150/270 which is more than 150/250, so 75/135 is out of the equation. Now to compare 24/42 and 150/250 we can divide their fractions, if we divide 24/42 we get 0.57, so 57%. If we did 150/250 we get 0.6 or 60%. So 150/250 is the best score.

What is the answer? please help

amid [387]

Answer:

solution,

A(2,7)---------> (X1,y1)

B(6,3)--------->(x2,y2)

now,

 $ab = ( \frac{x1 + x1}{2} \: , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} ) \\ = (\frac{2 + 6}{2} \: , \frac{7 + 3}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{8}{2} \:, \frac{10}{2} ) \\ = (4 ,\: 5)$ 

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
