How do i find the shorted distance between the point and the line

Mathematics
1 answer:
m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8

4y = -3x+8

y = -3/4+2

The shortest distance between a point and a line is the perpendicular line.

Slope of the perpendicular line: 4/3 and point (-3,-2)

b = -2-(4/3)(-3) = 2

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=4/3x+2

y is equal y

4/3x+2= -3/4x+2

4/3x +3/4x = 2-2

x = 0

Plug x=0 into one of the equations to find y

y = 4/3(0) + 2

y = 2

(0,2) and (-3,-2)

Distance = sqrt [(-3-0)^2 + (-2-2)^2]

Sqrt (-3)^2+ (-4)^2

Sqrt 25 = 5

A box contains 146 marbles which are either red or blue. there are 28 more blue marbles than red marbles. how many blue marbles
rusak2 [61]
R + b = 146.  Supposing that b=r+28, 

r + (r+28) = 146, or 2r + 28 = 146.

Simplifying:  2r = 118.  Then r = 59, and b = r+28 = 59+28 = 87 blue marbles

What is the value of x?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

x = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle =  1/2(difference of intercepted arcs)

51 = 1/2 ( 160 -x)

Multiply each side by 2

2*51 = 160-x

102 = 160-x

Subtract 160

102 -160 = -x

-58 = -x

58 =x
