Question

Distance between point and line with vectors.
P = (-12, 14)
line L y=2x
Steps. Find any vector V in the direction of line L. Find the position vector U corresponding to point P. Find ProjvU. Show that W= U - ProjvU is a vector orthogonal to V whose length is the distanc between P and L.Find W and Magnitude of W

Answer 2

I think I have an idea.....but am making a mistake somewhere....

Answer 3

ohk, wat have u so far ?

Answer 4

V = <1,2> U = <-12, 4>

Answer 5

\[ProjectvU = (U * V/V*V)V \]
