Solution

Solutions:

7) Find the distance between (7,6)(7, 6) and (0,2)(0, 2):

We use the distance formula: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} Substitute the points (x1,y1)=(7,6)(x_1, y_1) = (7, 6) and (x2,y2)=(0,2)(x_2, y_2) = (0, 2): d=(07)2+(26)2=(7)2+(4)2=49+16=658.06d = \sqrt{(0 - 7)^2 + (2 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{49 + 16} = \sqrt{65} \approx 8.06 Answer: 8.068.06

8) Find the distance between (4,2)(4, 2) and (6,6)(-6, -6):

d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} Substitute (x1,y1)=(4,2)(x_1, y_1) = (4, 2) and (x2,y2)=(6,6)(x_2, y_2) = (-6, -6): d=(64)2+(62)2=(10)2+(8)2=100+64=16412.81d = \sqrt{(-6 - 4)^2 + (-6 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{(-10)^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{100 + 64} = \sqrt{164} \approx 12.81 Answer: 12.8112.81

9) Find the distance between (6,1)(-6, 1) and (3,1)(-3, 1):

Since the y-coordinates are the same, the distance is simply the difference in x-coordinates: d=x2x1=3(6)=3+6=3d = |x_2 - x_1| = |-3 - (-6)| = |-3 + 6| = 3 Answer: 33

10) Find the distance between (3,6)(-3, 6) and (2,1)(2, 1):

d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} Substitute (x1,y1)=(3,6)(x_1, y_1) = (-3, 6) and (x2,y2)=(2,1)(x_2, y_2) = (2, 1): d=(2(3))2+(16)2=(2+3)2+(5)2=52+(5)2=25+25=507.07d = \sqrt{(2 - (-3))^2 + (1 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{(2 + 3)^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50} \approx 7.07 Answer: 7.077.07

11) Slope of the line in the graph:

From the graph, the points are approximately (4,3)(4, 3) and (3,2)(-3, -2). Slope mm is: m=y2y1x2x1=2334=57=57m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-2 - 3}{-3 - 4} = \frac{-5}{-7} = \frac{5}{7} Answer: 57\frac{5}{7}

12) Slope of the line in the graph:

From the graph, the points are approximately (2,3)(2, 3) and (3,1)(-3, -1). m=y2y1x2x1=1332=45=45m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1 - 3}{-3 - 2} = \frac{-4}{-5} = \frac{4}{5} Answer: 45\frac{4}{5}

13) Slope of the line in the graph:

From the graph, the points are approximately (2,1)(-2, -1) and (2,3)(2, -3). m=y2y1x2x1=3(1)2(2)=3+12+2=24=12m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-3 - (-1)}{2 - (-2)} = \frac{-3 + 1}{2 + 2} = \frac{-2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2} Answer: 12-\frac{1}{2}

14) Slope of the line in the graph:

From the graph, the points are approximately (3,1)(3, 1) and (2,2)(-2, -2). m=y2y1x2x1=2123=35=35m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-2 - 1}{-2 - 3} = \frac{-3}{-5} = \frac{3}{5} Answer: 35\frac{3}{5}
