You are setting up a zip line in your yard. You map out your yard in a coordinate plane. An equation of the line representing th

e zip line is y=2x+4. There is a tree in your yard at the point (−4, 11). Each unit in the coordinate plane represents 1 foot. Approximately how far away is the tree from the zip line? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

Distance is 6.7units to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we the distance formula. And this is given as:

D = \frac{|a x + b y + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}

We were given the equation:

y = 2 x + 4

This can also be rewritten as:

y – 2 x – 4 = 0.

Therefore, a = -2, b = 1 and c = -4

Also, we were given the points:

(x, y) = (–4, 11)

Making use of the above formula for distance, we have:

D = \frac{|-2\times -4 + 1\times 11 + -4|}{\sqrt{-2^2 + -4^2}}

D = \frac{15}{\sqrt{5}}

D = 6.7units (to the nearest tenth)

M=2*2*3*5*5 and N=2*2*2*3*3*7 find the largest number that divides exactly M and N​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

M=2*2*3*5*5=300

N=2*2*2*3*3*7=504

Common factors between the two numbers are 2 and 3

The GCF(greatest common factor):

2×3 = 6

To see if it is true:

300/6 = 50

504/6 = 84

6 is the answer to the question.
