1. Find the distance from point P to QS SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK

S(0,8)
R(-3,5)
Q(-5,3)
P(1, 1)

5.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from point P to QS is the distance from point P (1, 1) to the point of interception R(-3, 5).

Use distance formula to calculate distance between P and R:

Let,

Plug in the values into the formula.

(to nearest tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
