Construct a line from a perpendicular to the x-axis, determine the distance from a to the x-axis along this perpendicular line, find a new point on the other side of the x-axis that is equidistant from the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine distances, we need to use this formula:

To apply that formula we need to use the coordinates of point, but in this case will be calculated generally, due to the lack of specific values.

So, Point A have the coordinates

Let's call Point P the one that's on the x-axis, its coordinates are

Applying the formula, the distance between this two points will be:

To find an opposite and equidistant point, we only need to use opposite values. So, let's call Point B, the opposite point, its coordinates will be:

And the distance will be the same, because squared values will always results positive.

d

step-by-step explanation:

d

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
