Question 3. Find the distance between P(4,5) and the line with equation 8x + 5y = 20​

Mathematics
1 answer:
earnstyle [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y = 20

y = (-8/5)x + 4

slope of the line is -8/5.

slope of any perpendicular to the line is ⅝.

line of slope ⅝ that passes through P(4,5):

y-5 = ⅝(x-4)

y = ⅝x + 2.5

find intersection of lines

⅝x + 2.5 = (-8/5)x + 4

25x + 100 = -64x + 160

89x = 60

x = 60/89, y = 260/89

distance between (60/89, 260/89) and (4,5) = 3.92

What function is graphed below<br><br><br><br><br><br><br> y = 2x y = x + 3 y = 2x + 3 y = 2x + 2
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from point (0, 3) to point (1, 5), you go 2 units up and 1 unit right. That means the rise is 2, and the run is 1.

slope = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

The slope is 2.

y = 2x + b has a slope of 2.

Now we need b.

Looking at the graph, we see that the y-intercept of the line is point (0, 3), so b = 3.

The equation is

y = 2x + 3
