Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = ((- 2, - 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, 5x + 9 )
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x-(-2))^2+(5x+9-(-3))^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(x+2)^2+(5x+9+3)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(x+2)^2+(5x+12)^2}[/tex]
