Answer:

5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance between the line y = -2x + 1 and the point (-4, 4), we need to find the position of the line at x = -4. Shortest distance between two objects is a straight line, right?

So y = -2(-4) + 1 = 9; (-4, 9).

Finding the distance between (-4, 4) and (-4, 9) gives us the answer of 5.

Answer:

2.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the Perpendicular from (-4,4) to the given line:

m1 × m2 = -1

y = (½)x + c

4 = (½)(-4) + c

c = 6

y = (½)x + 6

Foot of the Perpendicular

(½)x + 6 = -2x + 1

5/2 x = -5

x = -2

y = -2(-2) + 1 = 5

(-2,5) and (-4,4)

sqrt[(5-4)² + (-2+4)²]

sqrt(1 + 4)

sqrt(5)

Can someone pls help for brainlest
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 36 in^{2}

Only one number will make this missing length true.

Obviously it's a square so one number x one number will equal to 36 in^{2}

6 x 6 = 36 in^{2}

Replace * with a monomial in such a way, that the trinomial becomes a perfect square. *+12x+1
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: * = 36x^2

Note: Im guessing you're here for rsm struggles. That's how I found this question. I searched the web for the answer to this rsm problem, but I couldnt find it. I was happy to find this brainly link, but annoyed to find it was unanswered. I did the problem, and now i'll help future rsm strugglers out. Thanks for posting this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we know that trinomials like this are squares of binomials. this in mind, we know that it can also be written as (x+y)^2. (also brainly's exponents feature used to be better, if the exponents are confusing you, comment.) Using the (x+y)^2 equation, you know that by simplifying it, you get x^2+2xy+y^2. Basically we're looking for x^2. Using the middle term, 2xy, or 12x in this equation, we can find x. since we know the square root of 1 is 1, we know 12=2x. This is kinda confusing, but basically since the answer is 6, we know that the x-term is 6x. We square 6x and get 36x^2. guaranteed to work on the rsm student portal, i'm in rsm and i just answered this question.

Hope this helps! Also, im not usually too active on brainly unless im looking for HW answers, so if you understand this explanation and you see a confused comment, help out a friend and answer it. Happy holidays!
