(1, -6) and (-5, 2)
Distance between 1 and -5 = 6
Distance between -6 and 2 = 8
6²+8²=x² (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)
36+64=x²
x² = 100
x = 10
Note: Not -10 because <em>distance cannot be negative.</em>
You add the numbers of all 4 sides.
Answer:
a negative slope
Step-by-step explanation:
y intercept : (0,6)
Explanation:
Use the formula:
. y = mx + b
Find m (the slope), using 2 random points of the graph: (-2,0) and (1,9)
. m = (y-y1) / (x-x1)
m = (0-9) / (-2-1)
m = -9 / -3
m = 3
Replace m in the equation:
. y = 3x + b
Find b by replacing y and x by a random point of the graph: (1,9)
. 9 = 3*1 + b
b = 9 - 3
b = 6
Replace b in the equation:
. y = 3x +6
To find the y-intercept replace x by 0 in the equation:
. y = 3*0 +6
y = 0+6
y = 6
=> y-intercept : (0,6)
