Y=8-2x so the slope should be -2x

Answer:

x=-5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x+4)=(-x-1)

1. Distribute

-3x+(-12)=-x-1

2. Simplify

-3x-12=-x-1

-2x-12=-1

-2x=11

x=-11/2

x=-5.5

Calculate pt3 such that a line from pt1 to pt3 is perpendicular to the line from pt1 to pt2, and the distance between pt1 and pt

Leni [432]

Let the point_1 = p₁ = (1,4)
and      point_2 = p₂ = (-2,1)
and      Point_3 = p₃ = (x,y)

The line from point_1 to point_2 is L₁ and has slope = m₁
The line from point_1 to point_3 is L₂ and has slope = m₂
m₁ = Δy/Δx = (1-4)/(-2-1) = 1
m₂ = Δy/Δx = (y-4)/(x-1)
L₁⊥L₂ ⇒⇒⇒⇒ m₁ * m₂ = -1
∴ (y-4)/(x-1) = -1 ⇒⇒⇒ (y-4)= -(x-1)
(y-4) = (1-x) ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ equation (1)

The distance from point_1 to point_2 is d₁
The distance from point_1 to point_3 is d₂
d = $\sqrt{Δx^2+Δy^2}$
d₁ = $\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2}$
d₂ = $\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}$
d₁ = d₂
∴ $\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2} = \sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}$ ⇒⇒ eliminating the root
∴(-2-1)²+(1-4)² = (x-1)²+(y-4)²
(x-1)²+(y-4)² = 18
from equatoin (1) y-4 = 1-x
∴(x-1)²+(1-x)² = 18            ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ note: (1-x)² = (x-1)²
2 (x-1)² = 18
(x-1)² = 9
x-1 = $\pm \sqrt{9} = \pm 3$
∴ x = 4 or x = -2
∴ y = 1 or y = 7

Point_3 = (4,1) or (-2,7)
