EXAMPLE
Find the distance between the points A(−4, −3) and B(5, 7).
SOLUTION
In this case, x1 = −4, x2 = 5, y1 = −3 and y2 = 7.
AB2 = (x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
= (5 − (−4))2 + (7 − (−3))2
= 92 + 102
= 181
Thus, AB =
Note that we could have chosen x1 = 5, x2 = −4, y1 = 7 and y2 = −3 and still obtained the same result. As long as (x1, y1) refers to one point and (x2, y2) the other point, it does not matter which one is which.
Answer:
4.75 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Before the termites: 5 pounds
After the termites: 1/4 of a pound
Amount that the termites took: x
5 - x = 1/4
Add x to both sides of the equation
5 = 1/4 + x
Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation
4 3/4 = x
4 3/4 = 4.75
The termites took 4.75 pounds from the log
Hope this helps :)
The answer would be choice 2 : Function 2 shows a greater rate of change, because Edwin spends $9 each month and Adam spends $7 each month.
I found this out because for Adam, you simply subtract the y-coordinates from each other and get 7 each time. Edwin clearly shows that he Spends $9 each month with the negative sign.
Answer:
B. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The final position of the ball is on the 16 yard line.
Step-by-step explanation:
The final position of the ball after the fourth play is given by the initial position, in this case the 27-yard line, followed by a succession of sums and subtractions depending on the outcome of each play. For gains we sum and for losses we subtract. So we have:
final position = 27 + 6 - 12 + 2 -7
final position = 27 - 11
final position = 16
The final position of the ball is on the 16 yard line.
