9. what is the distance between (5, –2) and (5, 3)? a. 5 units b. –5 units c. 3 units d. 1 unit

The correct answer is option A.  5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Distance formula

Length of a line segment with end points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by,

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

It is given that, two points are

(5, –2) and (5, 3)

To find the distance

(x1, y1) = (5, -2)  and (x2, y2) = (5, 3)

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

 = √[(5 - 5)² + (3 - -2)²]

 = √[(5)²  = 5

Therefore the correct option is Option A  5 units

answer is x<

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
