Distance between parallel lines y=3x+10 and y=3x-20

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]2 years ago
4 0

1. Take an arbitrary point that lies on the first line y=3x+10. Let x=0, then y=10 and point has coordinates (0,10).


2. Use formula d=\dfrac{|Ax_0+By_0+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}} to find the distance from point (x_0,y_0) to the line Ax+By+C=0.


The second line has equation y=3x-20, that is 3x-y-20=0. By the previous formula the distance from the point (0,10) to the line 3x-y-20=0 is:

d=\dfrac{|3\cdot 0-10-20|}{\sqrt{3^2+(-1)^2}}=\dfrac{30}{\sqrt{10}}=3\sqrt{10}.


3. Since lines y=3x+10 and y=3x-20 are parallel, then the distance between these lines are the same as the distance from an arbitrary point from the first line to the second line.


Answer: d=3\sqrt{10}.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

  x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle GHK is half of 120, so is 60. Then ...

  3x +24 = 60

  3x = 36 . . . . . subtract 24

  x = 12 . . . . . . . divide by 3

dimensions of a building are 740 feet by 800 feet. If 1inch represents 8 feet. What are the dimensions of the building on the dr
nevsk [136]

Answer: 92.5 inches by 100 inches.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that 1 inch represents 8 feet and the dimensions of the building are 740 feet by 800 feet, therefore, you must apply the proccedure shown below:

\frac{740ft*1in}{8ft}=92,5in

\frac{800ft*1in}{8ft}=100in

2. Then, as you can see, the dimensions of the building on the drawing are 92.5 inches by 100 inches.

What is the greatest common factor of 36x^3 and 8x
marusya05 [52]
Factor 36x^3 = (2)(2)(3)(3)(x)(x)(x)
Factor 8x =       (2)(2)(2)(x)

Take what they have in common which is (2)(2)(x) and multiply and it will be 4x.
