d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}[/tex]
[tex]\bf QP=\sqrt{(0.5-0)^2+(0-2)^2}\implies QP=\sqrt{0.5^2+2^2}
\\\\\\
QP=\sqrt{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2+4}\implies QP=\sqrt{ \frac{1^2}{2^2}+4}\implies QP=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}+4}
\\\\\\
QP=\sqrt{\frac{17}{4}}\implies QP=\cfrac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies QP=\cfrac{\sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex]
b)
since QR=QP, that means that QO is an angle bisector, and thus the segments it makes at the bottom of RO and OP, are also equal, thus RO=OP
thus, since the point P is 0.5 units away from the 0, point R is also 0.5 units away from 0 as well, however, is on the negative side, thus R (-0.5, 0)
c)
what's the equation of a line that passes through the points (-0.5, 0) and (0,2)?
[tex]\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
Q&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad
% (c,d)
R&({{ -0.5}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-0.5-0}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-0.5}[/tex]
[tex]\bf m=\cfrac{\frac{-2}{1}}{-\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{-2}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{-1}\implies 4
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\implies y-2=4(x-0)\implies y=4x+2\\
