Expand the expression.
0.2(y + 2)

452,489 to the nearest thousand is 452,000

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
