The horizontal distance between them is from -5 to 1, that is 6 units.
The vertical distance between them is from 1 to 6, that is 5 units.
So, using Pythagoras, the distance between then, along the diagonal, is
sqrt(62 + 52) = sqrt(36 + 25) = sqrt(61) units.

Please explain the pythagorean theorem in simple terms.?
the easiest thing to know it A squared + B squared = C squared
How do you explain how a negative times a positive makes a negative?
+*-=-. Example. 3*-3=-9.
What would you say to a classmate who asks you to explain why negative 4 squared is equal to negative 16?
Yo should say that you cannot explain something that is not true.
How can you explain how to use Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
Explain what opposite numbers are?
They are the numbers that are placed on a number line that are exact same distance away from 0
Explain why the absolute value of a number is never a negative number?
Sample Response: The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from 0 on a number line. Since distance is never negative, absolute value is never negative.
Explain about Cartesian coordinate system?
In 2-dimensions, the Cartesian coordinate system comprises a pair of axes meeting at right angles at a point called the origin. Conventionally the axes are identified as the x-axis (going from left to right) and the y-axis (going from the bottom to the top).Every point of the Cartesian plane is allocated an ordered pair of numbers, called coordinates. The first number (abscissa) represents the distance of the point to the right of the origin and the second (ordinate) represents the distance in the upward direction. If the point is to the left or below the origin then the corresponding coordinate is negative.
Does the Pythagorean relationship hold true for a right triangle with side length that are not whole number explain how?
yes
Explain how to find the distance between the points (28-17) and (-15-17) on a coordinate plane?
the first point is x = 28 and y = -17. The second point is x = -15 and y = -17. Since both points have the same y coordinate then the points are on a straight horizontal line and distance is the difference of the x coordinates, or 28 - (-15) = 43
Explain in the pythagorean theorem must be a right triangle?
yes it only apllies to the right triangle and "c" is the hypotnuse of the triangles
Please explain the pythagorean theorem in simple terms.?
the easiest thing to know it A squared + B squared = C squared
Explain why the work done of sliding friction is negative when an object undergoes a dispalcement on a rough surface?
Work is done when a force is applied over a distance. If the force acts opposite the direction of motion, like friction, then the work is negative.
Explain would the formation of a goiter be positive or negative feedback?
Negative.
Can pv r be negative Explain?
no pressure and volume can never be negative quantities
How would you explain the childrens what is negative 3 plus5?
Explain that the negative(-3) can be moved and become a subtraction sign. -3+5=5-3
Will a negative number to the fifth power be a positive or a negative value explain?
Negative, because 5 is an odd number
Is it possible for a coefficient of variation to be negative Explain.?
Of course it is! If the mean of a set of data is negative, then the coefficient of variation will be negative.
