What is the slope of the line with the equation -5 - x = y?<br> O 5<br> O 1<br> O -1<br> O-5

Need help with this, simple but I don't understand/remember how to do it.

By using definition of proportionality and Pythagorean theorem, the values of x and y associated with the geometrical system formed by two right triangles are 36 / 5 and 104 / 5, respectively.

<h3>How to analyze a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles</h3>

Herein we find a picture of a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles with two variables: {x, y} These variables can be found by using the definition of proportionality and the Pythagorean theorem:

5 / 8 = 12 / (12 + x) = 13 / y

Then, we proceed to solve the system formed by two equations:

(12 + x) / 12 = 8 / 5

12 + x = 96 / 5

x = 96 / 5 - 12

x = 36 / 5

y / 13 = 8 / 5

y = 104 / 5

By using definition of proportionality and Pythagorean theorem, the values of x and y associated with the geometrical system formed by two right triangles are 36 / 5 and 104 / 5, respectively.

What is the perpendicular distance from the line y= 2x-3 to the point (8,3)

Liula [17]

Find the perpendicular line then find the intersection then find the point

perpendicular lines have slopes that are perpendicular
the slopes multiply bo -1

y=mx+b
m=slope
y=2x-3
2 is slope

2 times what=-1
what=-1/2

the equation is
y-3=-1/2(x-8) or
y=(-1/2)x+7

find intersection
at (4,5)
distance bwetweeen (8,3) and (4,5)
D= $\sqrt{(8-4)^2+(3-5)^2}$
D= $\sqrt{(4)^2+(-2)^2}$
D= $\sqrt{16+4}$
D= $\sqrt{20}$
D=2√5
distance= 2√5
