How do i find the shorted distance between the point and the line

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8

4y = -3x+8

y = -3/4+2

The shortest distance between a point and a line is the perpendicular line.

Slope of the perpendicular line: 4/3 and point (-3,-2)

b = -2-(4/3)(-3) = 2

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=4/3x+2

y is equal y

4/3x+2= -3/4x+2

4/3x +3/4x = 2-2

x = 0

Plug x=0 into one of the equations to find y

y = 4/3(0) + 2

y = 2

(0,2) and (-3,-2)

Distance = sqrt [(-3-0)^2 + (-2-2)^2]

Sqrt (-3)^2+ (-4)^2

Sqrt 25 = 5

Geri spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday selling a total of 24 magazines orders for her school.The amounts on those 3 days were co

ryzh [129]

The sale on Friday = x = 6

The sale on Saturday = x+2 = 6 + 2 =8

The sale on Sunday = x+4 = 6+4 =10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sale of Friday

Then

x+2 will be the sale of Saturday

x+4 will be the sale of Sunday

According to the given statement, that the total sales were 24

$x+(x+2)+(x+4) = 24\\x+x+2+x+4 = 24\\3x+6 = 24\\Subtracting\ 6\ from\ both\ sides\\3x+6-6=24-6\\3x=18\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{18}{6}\\x=6$

The sale on Friday = x = 6

The sale on Saturday = x+2 = 6 + 2 =8

The sale on Sunday = x+4 = 6+4 =10

There are 206 bones in the body. What fraction represents the number of bones in one hand (27) compared to the total number of b

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$\frac{27}{206}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of bones in one hand

y -----> the total number of bones in the body

we know that

The fraction that represents the number of bones in one hand compared to the total number of bones in the body, is equal to divide the number of bones in one hand by the total number of bones in the body,

we have

$x=27\ bones\\y=206\ bones$

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{27}{206}$
