Q: Construct a line perpendicular to m through P. Then find the distance from P to m.

Line m contains points [Image] and [Image]. Point P has coordinates [Image].
- [Image] [Image] (The slope of a line p perpendicular to m has the negative reciprocal to the equation of line m. The slope of line m is [Image], which is 0. This is a horizontal line. The perpendicular line, then would be a vertical line, [Image], going through point P. The point on m where line p intersects it would be [Image]. Use the Distance Formula to find the distance from point P to the point on m that intersects line p: [Image])

The Widget Company has been making their product and selling it to the public since 1996. They have raised the price of their product 5% of the initial price each year since the company started. The initial price was $49.00 in 1996.

a.      Graph the product’s cost from 1996 through 2004.
b.      If the pricing trend continues, what should the company charge for their product in 2007? Show your work.
c.      If the company charges $71 in 2005, does that keep with the trend? If not, how much should the company raise or lower their price to meet the trend? Show your work.
