Is the distance from the merry-go-round to the water slide the same as the distance from the water slide to the merry-go-round? explain.

Yes, it’s the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Merry-go-around: (8, 2)

Water Slide: (8, -8)

Since the x-axis are the same, we can cross them out.

Different Quadrant: Add

|2| + | -8 | = 10 miles/10 squares

If you do the reverse, it’s the same. Unless if you stop somewhere between, their distance are the same.

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
