| Question 465991:  Find the distance between the two points. Round an approximate result to the nearest hundredth.
 ( -1,-1) and ( 3,-7)
 Find the midpoint of the line segment having the given endpoints.
 
 ( 8,-4) and ( -7,8)
 Determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
 
 y + x = -2 and y - x = -2
 Without graphing, identify the slope and the y-intercept.
 
 y = 3x + 9
 Solve the quadratic equation.
 
 x2 - x = 72

You can put this solution on YOUR website!  Hi,
 Please keep these formulas for reference:
 D =
  ( -1,-1)
 ( 3, -7)  D =
  to the nearest hundredth Midpoint Pt(x,y):  (
  ,  ) ( 8,-4)
 ( -7,8)  M = (1/2,2)
 
   
  
 y + x = -2  OR y = (-1/1)x-2
 y - x = -2  OR y = (1/1)x-2  Lines are perpendicular: Solpes negative reciprocals
 y = 3x + 9    |slope m = 3 and y-inteecept is Pt(0,9)
 point-slope formula,
  will come in handy as well x^2 - x - 72 = 0
 factoring
 (x-9)(x+8)= 0
 (x-9)=0
 (x+8)= 0   x = 9 and x = -8 are the solutions
