To solve, use the distance formula:

. Using your values of x and y, you get

, which is approximately 9.22. This means your shortest distance is √85≈9.22
Hello,
The answer is 2.9.
Reason:
Solve this two ways:
1. You could be just regularly solving the question but subtracting 6.1 to 3.2.
6.1-3.2=2.9
2. Or you could be solving variable.
Subtract 3.2 on both sides:
6.1-3.2=2.9
r=2.9

44. You can come to this answer by using algebra,
1/2x = 22
Multiply both sides by 2(denominator) thus,
X = 44.
Or you can use lateral thinking and realise that if 22 is 50%, you need to multiply by 2 to reach 100%.
Slope of 2y = x + 5:-
This is y = 0.5 x + 2.5 in slope intercept form so its slope = 0.5
Slope of the line perpendicular to it = -1 / 0.5 = -2
it passes through (2 , 1) so we have
y- 1 = -2(x - 2)
y = -2x + 4 + 1
The answer is y = -2x + 5
