Answer 1

distans from line: y=-2x-8 tu point: (-2.6)

line slope=-2

gotta draw line 90 deg tu this thru point, so that line hav slope=-(1/-2)=+0.5

formula for this line:y=0.5x+konst

tu get y-intersept, projekt this line tu x=0...deltax=2

deltay=0.5*2=1

y-intersept=6+7=7...line 2:y=0.5x+7

intersekt at (-5.9, 3.8)

distans from point tu line=7.15541753

Answer 2

woops, littel math goof theer

2 lines hit at (-6,4)

distans=4.47213595
