find the point on the line y=8-2x closest to the point (1,4)

Question

I cannot figure this out at all

Answer 1

line: y=-2x+8 & point=(1,4)

anser...distans from point tu line=0.89442719

point on line=(1.8,4.4)

perpendikular line=y=0.5x+3.5

### step1=find the perpendikular line

its slope=-1/slope av line=-1/-2=0.5

eezeeer tu see if draw pik

draw line with slope=0.5 from point (1,4) & see weer it hit line
