A piece of cheese is in (12.10) in a coordinate plane. A mouse is at (4, -2) and runs to the line y =- 5x + 18. At one point (a, b) the mouse starts to go further of cheese rather than closer to it. What is a + b?? _______________________ Thanks for any help!
gradient of the line = -5 The closest the mouse is when the line gets the cheese is perpendicular to the line running along. gradient is, = (05.01) The equation for that line is y – 10 = (1 / 5) (x-12) 5y – 50 = x – 12 5y = x + 38 simultaneous equations that complies with another line in (2.8) Therefore a + b = 10
