The length of the new line, between the given point and the newly-found intersection point, is the distance between the point and the original line. To find the distance, subtract the x and y values to get the x and y displacements. Therefore, there is no specific equation!

The minimum distance from the point to the line would be found by drawing a segment perpendicular to the line directly to the point. Our first step is to find the equation of the new line that connects the point to the line given in the problem. Because we know this new line is perpendicular to the line we're finding the distance

Answer:

10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 24

3x+5y = 100

We can solve this system of equations using elimination. In order to do this, let's first multiply the first equation by 3...

3x+3y=72

3x+5y=100

Now, subtract the first equation from the second equation...

2y=28

Divide both sides by 2

y=14

Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for x...

x+14=24

x=10
