Answer 1

length oa AQ is 4 units and that of WQ is 12 units
hence reqd ans =4/12=1/3

Answer 2

how didi yoU get WQ, please explain

Answer 3

did

Answer 4

@matricked

Answer 5

count how many spaces there are between W and Q

you'll count 12 spaces

or you can do it numerically by subtracting

4 - (-8) = 4 + 8 = 12

Answer 6

ok thank you be cause i got -12 not 12

Answer 7

distance is always positive

Answer 8

so if you got a negative result from subtraction, you make the result positive

Answer 9

-8 - 4 = -12

make it positive to get 12

Answer 10

thank you guys so much

Answer 11

you're welcome

Answer 12

@jim_thompson5910 can you want to help me with some other questions please?

Answer 13

sure

Answer 14

just a few though

Answer 15

ok :)

Answer 16

M(5, 7) is the midpoint of RS . The coordinates of S are (6, 9). What are the coordinates of R?

(7, 11)
(10, 14)
(5.5, 8)
(4, 5)

Answer 17

let's make R the point (x,y) for now

Answer 18

M is the midpoint, so if you average the corresponding coordinates of R and S, you'll get the coordinates of M

Answer 19

this means you will have these 2 equations

(x+6)/2 = 5

and

(y+9)/2 = 7

Answer 20

I GOT 4 AND 5

Answer 21

The Frostburg-Truth bus travels on a straight road from Frostburg Mall to Sojourner Truth Park. The mall is 5 miles west and 3 miles south of the City Center. The park is 4 miles east and 4 miles north of the Center. How far is it from the mall to the park to the nearest tenth of a mile?

5.7 miles
5.8 miles
1.4 miles
11.4 miles

Answer 22

(x,y) = (4,5)

very good

5.7 miles

11.4 miles

Answer 24

one sec

Answer 25

alright

Answer 26

the best way to do this is to set up a coordinate system where the city center is at (0,0)

then you go 5 units to the left, then 3 units down to land at (-5, -3)...this is the mall

now go back to (0,0) and go to the right 4 and go up 4 units to get (4,4)...this is the park

Answer 27

your job is to find the distance between the two points (-5, -3) and (4,4)

Answer 28

ohh the distance formula right

Answer 29

correct

Answer 30

i got -16

Answer 31

i mean 4

Answer 32

hmm not sure how you got that

Answer 33

you used this formula right

d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

?

Answer 34

yes but since i got it wrong can you show me

Answer 35

sure

Answer 36

d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)


d = sqrt((4-(-5))^2+(4-( -3))^2)


d = sqrt((4+5)^2+(4-( -3))^2)


d = sqrt((9)^2+(7)^2)


d = sqrt(81+49)


d = sqrt(130)




So exact distance between the two points is sqrt(130) units.


Using a calculator, the approximate distance is roughly 11.40175 units.

Answer 37

thank you

Answer 38

sure thing
