Answer 12

hmm.. so would it be -4 as X1 , 6Y1 , 8x2, -12y2? @KamiBug

Answer 13

im a little lost @SolomonZelman

Answer 14

yes.

Answer 15

\(\large\color{black}{ x_1=-4 }\)
\(\large\color{black}{ x_2=8 }\)
\(\large\color{black}{ y_1=6 }\)
\(\large\color{black}{ y_2=-12 }\)

Answer 16

plug then into the distance formula

Answer 17

let me try and solve this step by step

Answer 18

step one?- (8+4)^2 + (-12-6)^2

Answer 19

step 2?- 12^2 - 18^2
