Answer:

A. D=sqrt( (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is the root of the sum of the squares of the differences in their corresponding coordinates. The equation of choice A is the usual formulation.

<em>Comment on answer choices</em>

Because the square of a number is the same as the square of its opposite, the formula in choice D is also correct.

Solve -np-80<60 for n. Show your work.<br><br> Solve 2a-5d=30 for d. Show your work.

$-np-80 < 60\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\np+80$

------------------------------------------------------

$2a-5d=30\qquad\text{subtract 2a from both sides}\\\\-5d=-2a+30\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\5d=2a-30\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\d=0.4a-6$
