The shortest distance from a point to a straight line is the measurement of the line segment which connects the point to the straight line. This line segment should be perpendicular to the line and is thus called the perpendicular distance.

Given A(2,0) and B(8,4), show that P(3,5) is on the perpendicular bisector of line AB by these 2 methods
Shalnov [3]

1) First we need to find midpoint M of segment AB.

... M = (A+B)/2 = ((2+8)/2, (0+4)/2) = (5, 2)

Then vector AB is B-A = (8-2, 4-0) = (6, 4)

and vector PM is P-M = (3-5, 5-2) = (-2, 3)

The latter has slope that is 3/-2 = -3/2. The former has slope that is 4/6 = 2/3.

The product of these slopes is -1, indicating these vectors are perpendicular.

2) Vector PA is P-A = (3-2, 5-0) = (1, 5).

Vector PB is P-B = (3-8, 5-4) = (-5, 1).

The lengths of both of these vectors are √(1²+5²) = √26.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Hello there

Actually, the correct answer is the 9

the first 0 is in the tenths spot, the 3 is in the hundredths, the second zero is in the thousandths, and the 9 is in the ten thousandths, while the 8 is in the hundred thousandths.

Therefore, the 9 is in the ten thousandths place

I hope this helped ^^
