Answer:Find the distance between the parallel lines m and n whose equations are y = x + 4 and y = x - 6, respectively.
There are several ways to do this...here's one
Let (0, 4) be a point on the first line
Then.......a line with a negative reciprocal slope going through this point will have the equation :
y = -x + 4........so......we can find the intersection of this line with y = x - 6....set both equations equal
-x + 4 = x - 6 add x, 6 to both sides
10 = 2x divide both sides by 2
5 = x
So...using -x + 4, the y value at intersection = -1.......
So...we just need to find the distance from (0,4) to ( 5, -1) =
√[ (5)^2 + (4 + 1)^2 ] = 5√2 ≈ 7.07 units
Here's a pic....AB is the distance with A = (0,4) and B = (5, -1)

Answer:
3.36 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
24 - 5 1/2 = 18.5
To find the distance on the map, we can set up a proportion:
1 cm / 5.5 miles = x cm / 18.5 miles
5.5 times 37/11 equals to 18.5; 1 times 37/11 is approximately equals to 3.36 cm (rounded to the nearest hundredths).
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
it has 2 in the equation
In problem number 1, the answer is 2. because if Aneesha multiply the first equation with 5, 2y will become 10y and if she multiply the sencond equation with 2, 5y will become 10y and 10y from both equations cancel out each other.
in problem number 2, the answer is 2. it's the same logic as number 1. if you multiply 0.5x with 2, it will become 1 and cancel out with x from first equation.
