Final answer:

The horizontal distance between the points (-5/3, -2) and (4, -2) is 7.333 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal distance between the points (-5/3, -2) and (4, -2) can be found by subtracting the x-coordinates of the two points.

To find the distance, we have: 4 - (-5/3) = 12/3 + 10/3 = 22/3 = 7.333 meters.

So, the horizontal distance between the two points is 7.333 meters.

Answer:

-2?

Step-by-step explanation:

use y2-y1 over x2-x1 to find the answer. So you would do -2--5/3 over 4--2. The two negitives turn into a positive. SO it is now -2+5/3 over 4+2. -2+5/3= -1/3 over 4+2=6 it is now -1/3/6 which equals -2. So I think the answer is -2. I do not know if you should trust me on this but I tried.
