jay caculated the distance between the points of (4,-7) and (-10,1) as 8.5. he found his answer by subtracting 4 and -6, and by subtracting 7 and 1 to get 6. He then used the pythagorean theorem to get 8.5. what mistakes did he make and how can he fix them?

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

dont trust me im no expert these losers made me fail a test bro this sucks
