Explain why |−3| + |9| represents the distance between the points (−3Explain why |−3| + |9| represents the distance between the points (−3, −5) and (9, −5)., −5) and (9, −5).

Here we need to use:

The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by:

Then the distance between:

(-3, -5) and (9, -5) is just:

because both numbers inside the absolute value, we can rewrite it as:

|-3 - 9| = |-3| + |-9| = |-3| + |9| = 12

So, by finding the distance between  (−3, −5) and (9, −5), we got the given expression, in this way we prove that the given expression represents the distance between these points.

step-by-step explanation: a reaction is first order. if the initial reactant concentration is 0.0200 m, and 25.0 days later the concentration is 6.25 x 10-4 m, then its half-life is:
