Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionThe distance between the two points P(x₁, y₁) and R(x₂, y₂) is d(P, R) = √(x₁ - x₂)^2 + (y₁ -y₂)^2. Distance formula. Find the closest point on the line y = 2x to the point (1, 7). (Hint: Every point on y = 2x has the form (x, 2x), and the closest point has the minimum distance.)
