If a = -4 and b = -6, which of the following statements is true? A. a is less than b .

B. a has a smaller absolute value than b .

C. The opposite of a is 6.

D. The distance between a and b is 10.!

B  a has a smaller absolute value than b

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,
