Answer:

The distance between the point P(0, 0) and the line y = −x + 4 is 2\sqrt{2} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between the point (x_0,y_0) and the line ax+by+c=0 is

d=\dfrac{|ax_0+by_0+c|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}

The given equation is

y=-x+4

Taking all terms on the left side.

x+y-4=0

The distance between the point (0,0) and the line x+y-4=0 is

d=\dfrac{|0+0-4|}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}

d=\dfrac{|-4|}{\sqrt{2}}

d=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{2}}

Rationalize denominator.

d=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}

d=\dfrac{4\sqrt{2}}{2}

d=2\sqrt{2}

Therefore, the distance between the point P(0, 0) and the line y = −x + 4 is 2\sqrt{2} units.

A canadian goose and a Great blue heron took off in opposite directions. The goose flew at 20 mph, and the heron flew at 10 mph.
iris [78.8K]

The Canadian goose flew for 4 hours and the Great blue heron flew for 10 hours

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let a represent the time flown by the goose and b represent the time flown by the heron. Hence:

a + b = 14    (1)

Also:

20a + 10b = 180   (2)

From equation 1 and 2:

a = 4, b = 10

The Canadian goose flew for 4 hours and the Great blue heron flew for 10 hours
