Explain how you could find the shortest distance from A(6, 5) to the line y = 5x – 10. (Use a diagram, be specific, and list all your steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

I cannot draw a diagram here.

but I can explain what to do in general.

the shortest distance from a point to a line is always via a connecting line that is perpendicular to the given line and his through the given point.

and then the distance from the given point to the intersection point is calculated.

every line is defined in the form like

y = ax + b

where a is the slope of the line, and b is the intersection point on the y-axis (the offset from point 0).

the slope of a line is the ratio y/x defining how many units y changes when x changes a certain amount of units.

in our example,

y = 5x - 10

5 (or rather 5/1) is the slope of the line.

it means that y grows by 5 units every time x grows by 1 unit.

a perpendicular line (cuts the original line with a 90 degree angle) has a related slope : it reverts x and y and flips the sign :

5/1 turns into -1/5

that means at the perpendicular line whenever x grows by 5 units, y goes down by 1 unit.

so, the first approach for the perpendicular line is

y = -1/5 x + b

to get b we use the given point (6, 5) that has to be in the perpendicular line.

5 = -1/5 × 6 + b

25/5 = -6/5 + b

31/5 = b

=> y = -1/5 x + 31/5

the intersecting point is now where both lines are equal

5x - 10 = -1/5 x + 31/5

25x - 50 = -x + 31

26x = 81

x = 81/26

y = 5×(81/26) - 10 = 405/26 - 260/26 = 145/26

the distance of the given point (6, 5) to the line intersection point (81/26, 145/26) is the calculated as

distance² = (6 - 81/26)² + (5 - 145/26)²

distance = sqrt((6-81/26)² + (5-145/26)²)

since the result was not requested here, I save us the calculation.

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
