The approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units

<h3>How to calculate the distance between two points</h3>

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as:

A = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinate points X(–12, –6) and Y(5, 6). The distance between them is expressed as;

XY = √(5+12)²+(6+6)²

XY = √(17)²+(12)²

XY = √269 + 144

XY = 20.8

Hence the approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept (0, b)</em>

<em />

$1.\ \text{Slope is}\ -2\to m=-2,\ \text{y-intercept is}\ -6\to b=-6\\\\\boxed{y=-2x-6}\\\\2.\ \text{Slope is}\ \dfrac{3}{7}\to m=\dfrac{3}{7},\ \text{y-intercept is}\ -1\to b=-1\\\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{3}{7}x-1}\\\\3.\ m=-8,\ b=11\\\\\boxed{y=-8x+11}\\\\4.\ m=0,\ b=-5\\\\\boxed{y=0x-5\to y=-5}\\\\5.\ m=-11,\ \text{y-intercept is}\ (0,\ 13)\to b=13\\\\\boxed{y=-11x+13}$

Find the equation of a parallel to y+2=-1/2x that passes through the point (-2,2)

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

y = - 1/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y+2= - 1/2x

Slope = -1/2

Point: (-2,2)

y-Intercept: 2 - (-1/2)(-2) = 2 - 1 = 1
