Determine the length of the line segment with the end points at (9, 6) and (-12, 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given two points whose y values are the same. There is no need to use the distance formula. The x values alone will give you the length of the line.

to get to the y axis you have to go 12 units to the right.

To get from the y axis to 9, you have to go 9 more units to the right.

The total is 9 + 12 = 21

If you insist to see this done with the formula, it would look like this.

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

y2 = 6

y1 = 6

x2 = -12

x1 = 9

d = sqrt ( (6 - 6)^2 + (-12 - 9)^2 )

d = sqrt( 0 + ( -21 )^2 )

d = sqrt( 441)

d = 21 the same thing you got just be reasoning it out.

The first method works only if either both xs are the same or both ys are the same.

f(2x−x2)=−3x2+6x−1

step-by-step explanation:

set up the composite function and evaluate.

f(2x−x2)=−3x2+6x−1
