We use the distance formula:
d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
Substitute the points (x1,y1)=(7,6) and (x2,y2)=(0,2):
d=(0−7)2+(2−6)2=(−7)2+(−4)2=49+16=65≈8.06
Answer: 8.06
8) Find the distance between (4,2) and (−6,−6):
d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
Substitute (x1,y1)=(4,2) and (x2,y2)=(−6,−6):
d=(−6−4)2+(−6−2)2=(−10)2+(−8)2=100+64=164≈12.81
Answer: 12.81
9) Find the distance between (−6,1) and (−3,1):
Since the y-coordinates are the same, the distance is simply the difference in x-coordinates:
d=∣x2−x1∣=∣−3−(−6)∣=∣−3+6∣=3
Answer: 3
10) Find the distance between (−3,6) and (2,1):
d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
Substitute (x1,y1)=(−3,6) and (x2,y2)=(2,1):
d=(2−(−3))2+(1−6)2=(2+3)2+(−5)2=52+(−5)2=25+25=50≈7.07
Answer: 7.07
11) Slope of the line in the graph:
From the graph, the points are approximately (4,3) and (−3,−2).
Slope m is:
m=x2−x1y2−y1=−3−4−2−3=−7−5=75
Answer: 75
12) Slope of the line in the graph:
From the graph, the points are approximately (2,3) and (−3,−1).
m=x2−x1y2−y1=−3−2−1−3=−5−4=54
Answer: 54
13) Slope of the line in the graph:
From the graph, the points are approximately (−2,−1) and (2,−3).
m=x2−x1y2−y1=2−(−2)−3−(−1)=2+2−3+1=4−2=−21
Answer: −21
14) Slope of the line in the graph:
From the graph, the points are approximately (3,1) and (−2,−2).
m=x2−x1y2−y1=−2−3−2−1=−5−3=53
Answer: 53
