Question
Let y = d -8 = 9 and u= -2 -8 -1 Compute the distance d from y to the line through u and the origin. 6
Transcribed Image Text:Let y = d -8 = 9 and u= -2 -8 -1 Compute the distance d from y to the line through u and the origin. 6
Expert Solution
Step 1: Organizing the given information:

y and u are two points.

y space equals space left parenthesis negative 8 comma space 9 comma space minus 8 right parenthesis u space equals space left parenthesis negative 2 comma space 6 comma space minus 1 right parenthesis

d is the distance between the point y and the line passing through the point u and the origin.

Therefore,

step(1) - Find the equation of the line passing through the point u and the origin.

step(2) - Find the foot of perpendicular, if a perpendicular line is drawn from the point y on the line.

step(3) - d = Distance between the foot of perpendicular and the point y.
