Answer:

Distance from the point to the line will be \sqrt{5}m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the equation of the line is y = 2x\

So the equation of line will be y-2x = 0

Point from which we have to find the distance is (-2,1)

Distance from a point to line is given by d=\frac{Ax+By+C}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}} , here A = -2 , B = 1 and C = 0

And point x = -2 and y = 1

So d=\frac{-2\times -2+1\times 1+0}{\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}}=\sqrt{5}m

So distance from the point to the line will be \sqrt{5}m

C is the midpoint of line segment AB Find the value of x, if line segment AB = 5x and line segment AC = 20.
Softa [21]
D.8

A and C are out because they would get you ether lower or equal to 20, which is equal to AC and your trying to find X in AB which is so posed to be the what equals AC+BC.
AB=AC+BC
5x=20+BC
5(8)=20+BC
40=20+BC
40=20+20

AC equals 20. AB will have to equal AC+ CB. If you put in A.4 in AB 5X you will get twenty and that not what you want. You want to get a number that will get you the an answer greater to AC. So 5(8)=40.

For #2, ∠3 and ∠1 are supplementary. You know that the measure of ∠1 is 162°, so what is ∠3? 180-162=18.
m∠3=18° if ∠1=162°.
Hope this helped!
