Find the point on the line y = 3x + 2 that is closest to the origin.

1.
the slope of the line y=3x+2 is the coefficient of x, that is 3.

2.
the slope of any line perpendicular to the line y=3x+2, is m, such that:

3*m=-1

so m= \frac{-1}{3}

3. 
so any line with equation y=-1/3x+k is perpendicular to y=3x+2.

moreover, the line y=-1/3x (so k=0) is the line passing through the origin
(0, 0) and perpendicular to y=3x+2


4. This means that the closest point of y=3x+2 to the origin is the intersection point of lines y=3x+2 and y=-1/3x

5.
to find this point:

3x+2=(-1/3)x
x(3+1/3)=-2
x(9/3+1/3)=-2

x*10/3=-2

x= \frac{-2*3}{10} = \frac{-6}{10}=-0.6


thus y is :  (-1/3)(-6/10)=0.2



Answer: (-0.6, 0.2)

2(4 - 2r) = -2(r + 5)
Alexus [3.1K]
2(4 - 2r) = -2(r + 5)

First, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like: -4 + 2r = r + 5
Second, regroup your terms. / Your problem should look like: 2r - 4 = r + 5
Third, add 4 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 2r = r + 5  + 4
Fourth, add r + 5 + 4 to get r + 9. / Your problem should look like:2r = r + 9
Fifth, subtract r from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 2r - r = 9
Sixth, subtract 2r - r to get r. / Your problem should look like: r = 9

Answer: r = 9

What is the surface area of a sphere with a circumference of 100T? Leave
mixer [17]

Answer:

10000π units²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Circumference (C) = 100π

Surface Area of sphere (SA) =?

Next, we shall determine the radius. This can be obtained as follow:

Circumference (C) = 100π

Radius (r) =?

C = 2πr

100π = 2πr

Divide both side by 2π

r = 100π / 2π

r = 50 units

Finally, we shall determine the surface area of the sphere. This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) = 50 units

Surface Area of sphere (SA) =?

SA = 4πr²

SA = 4 × π × 50²

SA = 4 × π × 2500

SA = 10000π units²

Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is 10000π units²
