Question

I nee someone to answer this and actually explain it to me please.

Answer 1

Given Data:

$\begin{gathered} a=1.4 \\ b=-2.6 \\ c=5.2 \end{gathered}$

Here the point d is the horizontal distance, it can be found by adding the distance 'a' and 'c', since 'a' and 'c' are horizontal measurements. Th distance 'b' is given in vertical measurements. Thus, the distance 'b' can be ignored while finding the value of d.

$\begin{gathered} d=a+c \\ d=1.4+5.2 \\ d=6.6 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the distant d is in 6.6 unit from the origin, or from the y-axis.
