to find the point, find the location
realize that the shortest line that crosses through the origin and y=9x+8 is perpendicular to y=9x+8
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
y=9x+8 has a slope of 9
9*m=-1, m=-1/9
the slope of the mystery line is -1/9
since it passes through the origin, the y intercept is 0
y=(-1/9)x is the equation of the line from the point to the origin
find the intersection of this line and the original line
set them equal to each other
(-1/9)x=9x+8
multily both sides by 9
-x=81x+72
minus 81 both sides
-82x=72
divide both sides by -82
x=-36/41
find y
y=(-1/9)x
y=(-1/9)(-36/41)
y=4/41
the point is 
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Try it.
Well, I suppose you could break up the coordinate plane
in millions of different ways.
If you take each region to be all the space that is not crossed
by an axis, then you have the four Quadrants.
The first windsurfer is travelling faster. Solution:
1 meter = 3.28084 feet
The first surfer travels at 5 meters/second so you have to multiply 3.28084 by 5 which equals 16.4042 ft/second
There are 60 seconds in a minute so you will have to multiple 16.4042 ft/second by 60 seconds which equals 984.252 ft/minute
984.252 ft/minute > 720 ft/minute
The formula for the volume of a cube is V = a^3.
We know the volume is 125 cubic inches.
125 = a^3
Take the third square root
5 = a
The length of each edge is 5 inches
