Which expressions could be used to find the distance between points (-2, 8) and (7, 13) on a coordinate plane

Step-by-step explanation:

Note how the stretch from x = -2 to x = 7 could be regarded as the horizontal leg of a right triangle (9 units in length), and that from y = 8 to y = 13 the vertical leg (5 units in length).  We need to find the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle, using the Pythagorean Theorem:

d = √(5² + 9²) = √106, or approximately 10.3 units.

step-by-step explanation:

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
