Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write the equation of a line that passes through (5, 6) and (-1, 4).
First, let's find our slope. We can use the slope formula:
Let's let (5, 6) be (x₁, y₁) and let's let (-1, 4) be (x₂, y₂). So, our slope is:
Subtract:
Reduce:
So, our slope is 1/3.
Now, we can use the point-slope form, which is:
For consistency, let's let (5, 6) be (x₁, y₁). We will also substitute 1/3 for m. So:
Distribute:
Add 6 to both sides:
Add:
And we're done!
2x - y = 7
y = 2x - 7 this line has slope = 2
Perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal so slope = -1/2
Answer
A . -1/2
Distance = square root (24^2 + 7^2)
distance = square root (576 + 49)
distance = square root (625)
distance = 25
