On a cm grid, point p has coordinates (3,-1) and point q has coordinates (-5,6) calculate the shortest distance between p and q give your answer to 1 decimal place

Three numbers x, y, and z are in the ratio 2: 7: 8. if 12 is subtracted from y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in the order x, y–12, z). find x, y, and z. there are 2 sets.
