Answer:

The Richter scale and how it measures earthquake magnitude. The Richter scale calculates an earthquake's magnitude (size) from the amplitude of the earthquake's largest seismic wave recorded by a seismograph. ... (That is, an earthquake measuring 5.0 releases 31 times more energy than an earthquake measuring 4.0.)

Find the distance between the point (3, 5) and a line with the equation 5 x - 3 y + 10 = 0

timama [110]

The distance between the point (3, 5) and a line with the equation 5x – 3y + 10 = 0 will be 10 / √(34) units.

<h3>What is the distance between a point and a line?</h3>

Let (x₁, y₁) be the point and ax + by + c = 0 be the line.

Then the distance between a point and a line will be

$\rm d = \dfrac{|ax_1 + by_1 + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$
