Q. 4×1+5aw a ring around each of the calculations with a result that is a factor of 48Point P has coordinates (k,−3).Point Q has coordinates (2,−3).The length of PQ is 6.5 units and k<0Find the value of k.k=
Calculate Expression:4×1+5=4+5=9, which is not a factor of 48, so we don't circle it.
Find Distance Between Points: The distance between points P(k,−3) and Q(2,−3) is the absolute value of the difference in their x-coordinates since they lie on the same horizontal line.
Calculate Length of PQ: The length of PQ is ∣k−2∣=6.5, since k<0, k−2 must be negative, so we have −(k−2)=6.5.
Solve for k: Solving for k, we get −k+2=6.5, so k=2−6.5.
Final Value of k:k=−4.5, which is less than 0, so it fits the condition k<0.
