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 triangle has angles measuring 15° and 45°. What is the measurement of the triangle’s third angle?
nexus9112 [7]
First you need to know that the internal angles of a triangle always equals 180°. Therefore:

15+45= 90°

Then since the angles should equal 180, you do:

180-90=90

So the missing angle equals 90°

There are 28.35 grams in an ounce and 2.21 pounds in a kilogram. Miriam converted 7 kilograms to ounces, but her answer is not c
Serggg [28]

Answer: C

: Miriam multiplied correctly, but her third fraction should be .S

Step-by-step explanation: Miriam used the unit conversation upside down. The 7000 g should have been multiplied by 1oz/28.35g

The grams cancel and the division of 7000 be 28.35 results in 246.91 oz Round to 252oz.

Alternative: 7kg (2.21 lb/kg)(16oz/lb)=252.5oz

The kg and lbs cancel and the amount of ounces remains.
