What is the distance between (-2, 4) and (5, 4) on a coordinate grid?

Mathematics

Answer:

7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

(Background info, skip if not interested or needed for you)

The equation for distance on a cartesian plane coordinate system is based off the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b being sides of a right triangle, c being the hypotenuse.

When we are solving for distance we are solving for c essentially.

c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

Because a and b are side lengths of the right triangle, we need to find a way to find that in terms of coordinates. So here we might say that a is equal to the horizontal distance between the 2 points or Δx, and we would say that b is the vertical distance between the 2 points Δy.

(solutions)

So essentially distance is:

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

Now we just use the values given to us, and sub in the x and y values respectively.

(-2,4) x_1 = -2, y_1 = 4

(5,4)x_2 = 5, y_2 = 4

plug these values in:

d = \sqrt{((5) - (-2))^2+ (4-4)^2 } = \sqrt{(7)^2+ (0)^2 }  = \sqrt{7^2 } = 7

Therefore the distance is 7 units.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

<h2>(0, -2)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A(x, y)

rotated 180°: A'(-x, -y)

translated n units:

left (x - n, y)

right (x + n, y)

up (x, y + n)

down (x, y - n)

We have R(-3, 2)

rotated 180°: (-(-3), -2) = (3, -2)

translated 3 units left: (3 - 3, -2) = (0, -2)

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the ellipse is at  (2,  4)

The length of the x axis is  a=  (8-2) =6

The length of the y axis is b=(16-4) = 12

The formula for an ellipse is

(x-h) ^2       (y-k)^2

----------- + -------------- = 1^2

a^2              b^2

where (h,k) is the center

and a and b are the  lengths of the major and minor axes

(x-2) ^2       (y-4)^2

----------- + -------------- = 1

6^2              12^2

 none of your choices have b>a  and for the ellipse to be vertical b>a

ohaa [14]

Answer:

G. Modus tollens

Step-by-step explanation:

This question used the inference called modus tollens.

Modus tollens is a a valid form of argument that is of this form below:

<em>If S, then T</em>

<em>i</em><em>f not S, then not T.</em>

S = dog doesn't know perpetrator

Not S = dog knows who the perpetrator is

T = the dog barked

Not T = the dog did not bark.

So if we put this into the statement in bold letters, we would have:

The dog doesn't know perpetrator, so it barked.

And,

The dog didn't bark, so it knows the perpetrator.

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.<br> 12
SVEN [57.7K]
<h3>Answer:   15</h3>

=========================================================

Work Shown:

a = 9, b = 12 are the two legs of the right triangle

c = unknown is the hypotenuse

Apply the pythagorean theorem to find c

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + 12^2 = c^2

81 + 144 = c^2

225 = c^2

c^2 = 225

c = sqrt(225)

c = 15
