Line l contains the points (1,5) and (4, -4). point P has the coordinates (-1, 1)

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The distance from p to l is $\sqrt{10}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The distance between point p from line l is equal to the perpendicular segment from line l to point p

step 1

<em>Find the slope of line l</em>

we have the points

(1,5) and (4, -4)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{-4-5}{4-1}$

$m=\frac{-9}{3}$

$m=-3$

step 2

Find the equation of the line l

The equation in point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-3$

$point\ (1,5)$

substitute

$y-5=-3(x-1)$ -----> equation A

step 3

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line l

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (The product of their slopes is equal to -1)

$m_1*m_2=-1$

we have

$m_1=-3$ ---> slope of line l

therefore

$m_2=\frac{1}{3}$ ----> slope of the line perpendicular to line l

step 4

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to line l that passes through the point p

The equation in point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{3}$

$point\ p(-1,1)$

substitute

$y-1=\frac{1}{3}(x+1)$ -----> equation B

step 5

Solve the system of equations

$y-5=-3(x-1)$ -----> equation A

$y-1=\frac{1}{3}(x+1)$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point q(2,2)

see the attached figure

step 6

we know that

The distance between the point p and the line l is equal to the distance between the point p and the point q

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have the points

p(-1,1) and q(2,2)

substitute the values

$d_p_q=\sqrt{(2-1)^{2}+(2+1)^{2}}$

$d_p_q=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d_p_q=\sqrt{10}\ units$

Revolution in Russia is the lession

atroni [7]

Answer: The answers are in the photo. (They are color-coded.)

Step-by-step explanation:

A monarchy, democracy, and communism are different ways to run a government.

A monarchy is usually ruled by someone of royalty, like a king or queen. Typically, they inherit all the power and get to make all the decisions, whether their people like it or not.

In a democracy, the people have many liberties and rights. They get to vote for candidates that represent them that could get elected as a president, minister, mayor, etc. Those elected have to listen to what their people want.

In communism, the government gets to make all the decisions whether it benefits the people or not. This is runned by a single-party, meaning no other parties are allowed to be developed or run.
