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)

Function 1: y = 4x + 5
evablogger [386]
Answer: function 1

Rate of change of function 1:
Following the format of y=mx+c, the rate of change should be m, so, the rate of change for function 1 = 4

To find the gradient (rate of change):
The two points the line passes through are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), which in this case is (1, 6) and (3, 10)
(Doesn't matter which is which but you need to make sure that once you decide which is which, you stick to it)
To calculate the gradient, you substitute these values following (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

Gradient of function 2 = (10 - 6)/(3 - 1)
= 2

Therefore, since 4 > 2, rate of change of function 1 > rate of change of function 2.

Which equation could have the graph shown below? y = (x – 4)(x – 1)(2 + x)(3 + x) y = (x – 4)(1 – x)(2 + x)(3 + x) y = (x + 4)(x
Paul [167]
These functions are expressed in the factored form: what this means is that say for the first one y=(x-4)(x-1)(2+x)(3+x) ... when x=4, the first bracket becomes 0. Same for x=1, x=-2, x=-3 ... 

If you were to graph this, you would see that the function's line interesects the x-axis at these points... when x=4, when x=1, etc etc.

Thus, take a look at the zeroes of the graph. At which x points do they interscet the x-axis? You can determine the equation of your graph by this.
