You are setting up a zip line in your yard. You map out your yard in a coordinate plane. An equation of the line representing th

e zip line is y=2x+4y=2x+4. There is a tree in your yard at the point (−4, 11)(−4, 11). Each unit in the coordinate plane represents 1 foot. Approximately how far away is the tree from the zip line? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Solving this problem needs the distance formula of point to a line.

The formula is:

distance = | a x + b y + c | / √  (a^2 + b^2)

 
So we are given the equation: y = 2 x + 4

Rewriting this would be: y – 2 x – 4 = 0 ->  a = -2, b = 1, c = -4

 We are also given the points:

(-4, 11) = (x, y)

 Plugging it in the distance formula at points (x, y):

distance = | -2 * -4 + 1 * 11 + -4 | / √ [(- 2)^2 + (1)^2]

= 15 / √ (5)

= 6.7

 So the tree is approximately 6.7 feet away from the zip line.

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 cards and a total possible prize of 30 dollars, the probability for each one is 30/10=3 dollars. And since 5 out of the 10 are even, you can multiply the individual amount by 5 to get a total estimated payout of $15. Hope this helps!
