Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so the line will have a slope of 2.

Plug in the slope and the given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

0 = 2(2) + b

0 = 4 + b

-4 = b

Then, plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b

y = 2x - 4 is the equation of the line

Find the distance between (-4,3,-6) and the origin ((X,Y,Z) Graph)

devlian [24]

The distance between (-4,3,-6) and the origin is $\sqrt{61$

<h3>How to determine the distance?</h3>

The point is given as:

(x, y, z) = (-4,3,-6)

The origin is

(x, y, z) = (0,0,0)

The distance between the point and the origin is calculated as:

$d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2$

So, we have:

$d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (3)^2 + (-6)^2$

Evaluate

$d = \sqrt{61$

Hence, the distance between (-4,3,-6) and the origin is $\sqrt{61$
