I need more assistance :D Instructions: Using the image, find the distance between the points given on the graph.

I usually explain even in the answer.

So we use something called distance formula which is branched of Pythagorean theorem.

But we dont need to as it just makes it more complicated. We need to find split into 2 vectors, one vertical, and horizontal. The horizontal is 5 long.

The vertical is 1, you can find them by calculating how long is it and how tall.

Use pythogorean theorem from the formula and do 5^2+1^2 = c^2

25+1 = 26, so the answer is √26

I am pretty sure answer is right. Always take abolute value

√26

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
