Line Equation from Two Points

Mathematics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]2 years ago
7 0

Hi!

We can use <u>point-slope form </u>to solve this.

y-y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})

y_{1}<em> and </em>x_{1}<em> will be from one of the points.</em>

<u>First, we have to find </u>m<u>, the slope. We can use the slope equation to get this.</u>

\frac{y_{1} -y_{2} }{x_{1} -x_{2} }

<em>Plug in your points:</em>

\frac{4-0}{8-(-8)} =\frac{4-0}{8+8} =\frac{4}{16} =\frac{1}{4}

Your slope is \frac{1}{4}

<u><em>Now plug points and slope into point-slope equation. We will use (8, 4).</em></u>

y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)

Now, if you want to get it into y = mx + b form, you have to solve for y:

y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)

y-4=\frac{1}{4} x-2

y=\frac{1}{4} +2

Your equation is y=\frac{1}{4} +2

Find the distance from point A to the given line:<br> A(-1, 7), y=3x<br><br> How do I solve this?
kipiarov [429]

he formula of a distance between a point (a, b)

and a line Ax + By + C = 0:

d=\dfrac{|Aa+Bb+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}

We have the point A(-1, 7) → a = -1, b = 7

and the line y = 3x → 3x - y = 0 → A = 3, B = -1, C = 0.

Substitute:

d=\dfrac{|(3)(-1)+(-1)(7)+0|}{\sqrt{3^2+(-1)^2}}=\dfrac{|-3-7|}{\sqrt{9+1}}=\dfrac{|-10|}{\sqrt{10}}=\dfrac{10\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{10}}\\\\=\dfrac{10\sqrt{10}}{10}=\sqrt{10}

<h3>Answer: d = √10</h3>
