Drag the ordered pair that are 5.5 units apart.

Answer:

  (-1.5, -3.5) and (-1.5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinates in increasing order are ...

  -3, -1.5, 5

The distances between pairs of these coordinates are ...

  -1.5 -(-3) = 1.5

  5 -(-3) = 8

  5 -(-1.5) = 6.5

Clearly, any pair with x = 5 is too far away from any pair with a different x-value.

<u>∆x = 1.5</u>

If the distance between pairs is 5.5, then the distance formula tells us the y-coordinate differences for pairs with x-coordinates of -3 and -1.5 must be ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  5.5 = √(1.5^2 +(y2 -y1)^2) . . . substitute known values

  30.25 = 2.25 +(y2 -y1)^2 . . . . square both sides

  √28 = (y2 -y1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.25 and take the square root

This value is irrational. Clearly none of the y-coordinates is irrational, so there are no point pairs with x-coordinates -3 and -1.5 that are 5.5 units apart.

__

<u>∆x = 0</u>

If the x-coordinates are the same, then the y-coordinates must differ by 5.5 in order for the points to be 5.5 units apart. The coordinates in order are ...

  for x = -1.5, y = -3.5, 2, 2.5 . . . . . differences of 5.5, 6, 0.25

  for x = 5, y = -3.5, 1.5 . . . . . . . difference of 5

The only pair we can find that is 5.5 units apart is ...

  (-1.5, -3.5) and (-1.5, 2).

Find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 3x − 2y = 18 and select the appropriate option below.

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Y intercept:

Simply substitute all the x values with 0:

When x = 0:

3(0) - 2y = 18

Move the - 2y over to the other side making it a +2y:

0 = 18 + 2y

Move the +18 over to the other side making it a -18:

-18 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{-18}{2} = \frac{2y}{2}

-9 = y

So y intercept is:

<h3> (0 , -9)</h3>

X - intercept:

Simply substitute all the Y's with 0:

3x - 3(0) = 18

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3x}{3}  = \frac{18}{3}

x = 6

So the X intercept is:

<h3>(6 , 0)</h3>

This means that your guess of B is correct.

Is the additive inverse of an integer always negative? Explain.
andre [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number. For each positive integer, there is a negative integer, and these integers are called opposites. For example, -3 is the opposite of 3, -21 is the opposite of 21, and 8 is the opposite of -8. ... If an integer is less than zero, we say that its sign is negative

A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide. If its area is 50 sq. yd., find the length.
sertanlavr [38]
A = L * W
A = 50
L = 2W

50 = W(2W)
50 = 2W^2
50/2 = W^2
25 = W^2
sqrt 25 = W
5 = W

L = 2W
L = 2(5)
L = 10 <==length is 10 yd
