Answer:

<em>The distance from the point to the line is approximately 3.2 units</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance From a Point to a Line</u>

Is the shortest distance from a given point to any point on an infinite straight line. The shortest distance occurs when the segment from the point and the line are perpendiculars.

If the line is given by the equation ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real constants, the distance from the line to a point (x0,y0) is

\displaystyle d= \frac{|ax_0+by_0+c|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}

The line is given by the equation:

y=3x. We need to transform it into the specified form.

Subtracting 3x:

y - 3x = 0

Comparing with the general form of the line, we have

a=-3, b=1, c=0

The point (xo,yo) is (-1,7), thus:

\displaystyle d= \frac{|-3\cdot (-1)+1\cdot 7+0|}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+1^2}}

\displaystyle d= \frac{|3+7|}{\sqrt{9+1}}

\displaystyle d= \frac{|10|}{\sqrt{10}}

\displaystyle d= \frac{10}{\sqrt{10}}

d\approx 3.2

The distance from the point to the line is approximately 3.2 units

50/8 converted as a mixed number
AleksandrR [38]
50/8

Simply divide 8 into 50. That is 6.  Because 8 *6 = 48.

There would be a remainder of 2.

So  50/8 =  6 whole number    2/8.

 So the answer =    6 whole number  2/8.      As mixed fraction.

You can reduce the 2/8 to 1/4.

So  6 whole number  1/4  is also correct.

2y+8x=1 in slope intercept form
anzhelika [568]
The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
Following that kind of form becomes
2y = -8x + 1
y =(-8x + 1)/2
y = -4x + 1/2
