The shortest distance from a point to a straight line is the
measurement of the line segment which connects the point to the straight line.
This line segment should be perpendicular to the line and is thus called the
perpendicular distance.
The distance formula is: d = sqrt( (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 )
For this problem, let (-5, -4) be the "first" point, so x1 = -5 and y2 = -4
and let (-6, 4) be the "second" point, so x2 = -6 and y2 = 4.
Then: d = sqrt( (-6 - -5)2 + (4 - -4)2 ) = sqrt( (-1)2 + (8)2 ) = sqrt( 1 + 64 ) = sqrt( 65)
The distance formula is just the Pythagorean Theorem applied to an x-y graph.
You would get the same final answer if you let (-5, -4) be the second point and (-6, 4) be the first point.

Answer:
y = 97°
Explanation:
Opposite angles in a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle sum ups to 180°
So following the rule:
A + C = 180°
y + 83° = 180°
y = 180° - 83°
y = 97°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be convenient to compute the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle (AC). The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
AC^2 = AB^2 + CB^2
AC^2 = 4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25
AC = √25 = 5
The altitude divides ∆ABC into similar triangles ∆AHB and ∆BHC. The scale factor for ∆AHB is ...
scale factor ∆ABC to ∆AHB = AB/AC = 4/5 = 0.8
And the scale factor to ∆BHC is ...
scale factor ∆ABC to ∆BHC = BC/AC = 3/5 = 0.6
Then the side AH is 0.8·AB = 0.8·4 = 3.2
And the side CH is 0.6·BC = 0.6·3 = 1.8
These two side lengths should add to the length AC = 5, and they do.
The remaining side BH can be found from either scale factor:
BH = AB·0.6 = BC·0.8 = 4·0.6 = 3·0.8 = 2.4
_____
The sides of interest are ...
AH = 3.2
CH = 1.8
BH = 2.4
