a.
The distance between the points (0,0),(4,2).
a.

Answer to Problem 1RE
The distance between the points (0,0),(4,2) is 2√5_.
Explanation of Solution
The given points are (0,0),(4,2).
Obtain the distance between the points (0,0),(4,2) as follows.
Substitute (x1,y1)=(0,0) and (x2,y2)=(4,2) in d=√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2.
d=√(4−0)2+(2−0)2=√16+4=√20=√4⋅5=2√5
Thus, the distance between the points (0,0),(4,2) is 2√5_.
b.
The midpoint of the line segment connecting the points (0,0),(4,2).
b.

Answer to Problem 1RE
The midpoint of the line segment connecting the points (0,0),(4,2) is (2,1)_.
Explanation of Solution
The given points are (0,0),(4,2).
Obtain the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points (0,0),(4,2) as follows.
Substitute (x1,y1)=(0,0) and (x2,y2)=(4,2) in (x,y)=(x1+x22,y1+y22).
(x,y)=(0+42,0+22)=(42,22)=(2,1)
Thus, the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points (0,0),(4,2) is (2,1)_.
c.
The slope of the line containing the points (0,0),(4,2).
c.

Answer to Problem 1RE
The slope of the line containing the points (0,0),(4,2) is m=12_.
Explanation of Solution
The given points are (0,0),(4,2).
Obtain the slope of the line containing the points (0,0),(4,2) as follows.
Substitute (x1,y1)=(0,0) and (x2,y2)=(4,2) in m=y2−y1x2−x1.
m=2−04−0=24=12
Thus, the slope of the line containing the points (0,0),(4,2) is m=12_.
d.
To interpret: The slope found in part (c).
d.

Explanation of Solution
From part (c), the slope of the line containing the points (0,0),(4,2) is m=12.
For every 2 units changes in x, y will change by 1 unit.
That is, if x increases by 2 units, then y will decreases by 1 unit.
Thus, the average rate of change of y with respect to x is 12
