Find the distance from point P to the given line

Mathematics
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The distance from point P, P(-2,4) to the given line y= 2x-2 is 1.56

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance from point P to the given line

P(-2,4) , y= 2x-2

The formula used is: Distance=\frac{|Ax_1+By_1+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }

Where A, B and C are points of line i.e Ax+By+C=0

and x_1 and y_1 are points of P

So, y=2x-2 in Ax+By+C=0 is:

2x-y-2=0

A=2,

B=-1

C=1

Point given is P(-2,4)

x_1=-2

y_1=4

Putting values and finding distance

Distance=\frac{|Ax_1+By_1+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }\\Distance=\frac{|2(-2)+-1(4)+1|}{\sqrt{(-2)^2+(4)^2} }\\Distance=\frac{|-4-4+1|}{\sqrt{4+16} }\\Distance=\frac{|-7|}{\sqrt{20}}\\Distance=\frac{7}{\sqrt{20} }\\Distance=\frac{7}{4.5}\\Distance=1.56

So,  the distance from point P, P(-2,4) to the given line y= 2x-2 is 1.56

Coach Johnson need to buy shin guards for junior varsity and varsity basketball players the following package of shin guards are
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the best deal, we first want to consider price per unit. To find the price per unit, we divide the price by the number of units. For the 10 shin guard package, our price is 14.50, and we divide that by 10 to get 1.45 . Therefore, our unit price for the package of 10 is $1.45 per shin guard. Similarly, we can find the unit price for the package of 15 to be 22.5/15 = $1.50 per shin guard. As 1.50 is greater than 1.45, the lowest unit price is for the package of 10.

The question is asking for us to compare the prices if we bought 30 of each. For the package of 10, we get 1.45*30 (as we're buying 30 for 1.45) = 43.5 as the total price, and for the package of 15, we get 1.5*30 = 45 as our price. As 15 and 10 are both factors of 30, we don't need to worry about converting it back into packages of 10/15. The difference between buying 30 at the lowest and highest unit price is therefore (45-43.5)=1.5 dollars

Aaron has 5 dimes and 2 nickels. how much money does Aaron have?
Doss [256]

Knowing that one dime has a 10 cent value and that a nickle has a 5 cent value, we can use multiplication or addition to find the answer.

5 x 10 = 50   5 dimes together are worth 50 cents.

2 x 5 = 10  2 nickles together are worth 10 cents.

50 + 10 = 60   5 dimes and 2 nickles are worth 60 cents when added together.

ANSWER: Aaron has 60 cents.
