The distance between the point (2,1,1) and the plane x-2y=5 is​

Mathematics

The given plane has normal vector

x-2y=5\implies\mathbf n=\langle1,-2,0\rangle

Scaling <em>n</em> by a real number <em>t</em> gives a set of vectors that span an entire line through the origin. Translating this line by adding the vector <2, 1, 1> makes it so that this line passes through the point (2, 1, 1). So this line has equation

\mathbf r(t)=\langle1,-2,0\rangle t+\langle2,1,1\rangle=\langle 2+t, 1-2t, 1\rangle

This line passes through (2, 1, 1) when <em>t</em> = 0, and the line intersects with the plane when

x-2y=5\implies(2+t)-2(1-2t)=5\implies5t=5\implies t=1

which corresponds the point (3, -1, 1) (simply plug <em>t</em> = 1 into the coordinates of \mathbf r(t)).

So the distance between the plane and the point is the distance between the points (2, 1, 1) and (3, -1, 1):

\sqrt{(2-3)^2+(1-(-1))^2+(1-1)^2}=\boxed{\sqrt5}

4y+12=0<br> How do I get the two points to be graphed
coldgirl [10]

Did somebody say you're supposed to draw the graph of the equation ?
Is that the assignment ?

OK.  Just like every other equation you need to graph, get it in the
standard form, where 'y' is all alone on one side, and everything else
is on the other side.  When you do that, you'll be able to spot the slope
and y-intercept of the  line, or get some points, or whatever you want.

                                               4y + 12  =  0

Subtract 12 from each side:          4y  =  -12

Divide each side by 4:                      y  =  -3

There's the equation you can handle. 
The y-intercept is -3, and the slope is zero.

Would you like some points ?  OK.  Pick a couple of values for 'x',
and calculate the value of 'y' for each one:

The first value I picked for 'x':  x = 72 
The equation is  y=-3, so when x=72, y=-3.  The point is (72, -3)

The second value I picked for 'x' is:  x = 1
The equation is  y=-3, so when x=1,  y=-3.    The second point is (1, -3).

The third value I picked for 'x' is 4 billion.
The equation is  y=-3, so when x=4 billion, y=-3.  The third point is  (1, -3).

Do you see what's going on here ?  Your original equation didn't even
have 'x' in it, so we could tell right away that when the graph is drawn,
the value of 'y' at every point can't depend on 'x'.

When we simplified the equation and got it in standard form, we found that
the slope of the graph is zero.  That means the graph doesn't rise or fall ...
it's just a horizontal line.  Sure enough, the height of points on the line
doesn't depend on 'x'.  The value of 'y' at every point on the line is  -3 .

goblinko [34]

Answer:

y=4/3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

b is y intercept, and in this case, 2

m is the slope, and in this case, 4/3

Hope this answers your question.
