The distance between both lines is 2.24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no straight method to find the distance between two lines. The distance can be found out by finding a point on one line and then finding the distance of that point from the other line. The y-coordinate of point is obtained by putting any value of x in equation . The x and y combined give us the point.

Given

y=2x\\Putting\ x=1\\y=2(1)\\y=2\\So, the\ point\ on\ y=2x\ is\ (1,2)

We have to find the distance of this point from y=2x+5

y=2x+5\\Subtracting\ y\ from\ both\ sides\\y-y=2x+5-y\\2x-y+5=0

The formula for finding distance of a point (x,y) from a line is:

d=\frac{|Ax+By+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}

A=2

B=-1

C=5

Putting the values in the formula

d=\frac{|(2)(1)+(-1)(2)+5|}{\sqrt{(2)^2+(-1)^2}}\\d=\frac{|2-2+5|}{\sqrt{4+1}}\\d=\frac{|5|}{\sqrt{5}}\\d=\frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}\\d=2.236\ units

Rounding off will give: 2.24 units

The distance between both lines is 2.24 units

A vender bought an earphone for $1378 and she sold it in order to make a profit of 17. 5% calculate the profit made in cash and
Inessa [10]

The profit he made from selling his hearing aids at a profit of 17% is $234.26.

<h3>How to calculate the profit obtained?</h3>

To calculate the profit obtained, we must calculate how much money is equal to 17% of $1,378.

  • $1,378 ÷ 100 = $13.78
  • $13.78 × 17 = $234.26

Based on the above, 17% of $1,378 equals $234.26. On the other hand, to calculate the final sale price of the earphone, we add the initial value plus the value of the profit.

$1,378 + $234.26 = $1,612.26
