4. A new amusement park is going to be built near two major highways. On a coordinate grid of
the area, with the scale 1 unit represents 1 km, the park is located at P(3, 4). Highway 2 is
represented by the equation y = 2x + 5, and Highway 10 is represented by the equation y = -0.5x
+ 2. Determine the coordinates of the exits that must be built on each highway to result in the
shortest road to the park.
5. A university has three student residences, which are located at points A(2, 2), B(10, 6), and
C(4, 8) on a grid. The university wants to build a tennis court an equal distance from all three
residences. Determine the coordinates of the tennis court.
6. Triangle LMN has vertices at L(3, 4), M(4, -3), and N(-4, -1). Use analytic geometry to
determine the area of the triangle.
11. Use analytic geometry to find the shortest distance between the point P(-1, 3) to the line
x + y – 5 = 0. (DO NOT use the formula)
