Question

What is the value of the shortest distance between (0,0) and the line y = -4x/3 + 4?

With a diagram please...

Answer 1

the shortest distance = \[D= \sqrt{3^2-(2.5)^2}=\sqrt{9-6.25}=\sqrt{2.75}=1.65831239\] @estudier i guess it's done

Answer 2

2.5?

Answer 3

I there is a direct formula

Answer 4

think^

Answer 5

write the equation in the form of ax+by+c=0
so u get 4x+3y-12=0
now the shortest distance of a line from origin is |c|/sqrt(a^2+b^2)
so its 12/(5) = 2.4

Answer 6

find the mid point of that line boys
