Distance from a point to a line (Coordinate Geometry)
Method 1: When the line is vertical or horizontal
, the distance from a point to a vertical or horizontal line can be found by the simple difference of coordinates
. Finding the distance from a point to a line is easy if the line is vertical or horizontal. We simply find the difference between the appropriate coordinates of the point and the line. In fact, for vertical lines, this is the only way to do it, since the other methods require the slope of the line, which is undefined for evrtical lines.
Method 2: (If you're looking for an equation) Distance = | Px - Lx |

Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
and
denote the two endpoints.
The formula for the midpoint of these two points would be:
.
(Similar to taking the average of each coordinate.)
In this question, it is given that
whereas
. Substitute these two values into the expression for the coordinate of the midpoint:
-coordinate of the midpoint:
.
-coordinate of the midpoint:
.
Solve these two equations for
and
:
whereas
.
Hence, the coordinate of the other point would be
.
Answer:
-2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1/18 because 1/6 of 1/3 of the girls painted their nail red and 1/6 of 1/3 is 1/6*1/3 or 1/18.
Answer:In Heather's solution to the problem, she wrote and solved an equation.
Her work is:
Step 1: 1.08(x +9.01 +0.98 +5.01) = 21.87
Solving like terms
1.08(x+15}=21.87
dividing both side by 1.08
we get
x+15=21.87/1.08
x+15=20.25
subtracting both side by 13.9198
x=20.25-15
x=5.25
