Answer:
The type of driver
Step-by-step explanation:
The term known as '' response variable'' is use in describing a variable that changes when you alter an examination or a test. Just like its name implies, it is the ''response'' that one gets when the other variable that is the Explanatory Variable are being altered.
In this question, the golfer will have to be changing the type of drivers that she is using in order to be able to know whether these changes in drivers will increase her game performance. Hence, the Explanatory Variable is the type of driver in which the golfer changes which is being use to define the performance of the golfer.
L1: 2x+4y-3=0 ..........(1)
P: (2,0)
The point on the line L1 closest to the given point P is at the intersection of L1 with L2, which is the perpendicular passing through P.
Slope of L1=-2/4=-1/2
Slope of L2=-1/(-1/2)=2
Since it passes throug P(2,0), we can use the point-slope formula:
(y-0)=2(x-2) =>
L2: 2x-y-4=0.............(2)
Solve for x & y using (1) and (2) to get intersection point required:
(1)-(2)
2x-2x + 4y-(-y) -3 -(-4) =0
5y=-1, y=-1/5
Substitute y=1/5 in equation (1)
2x+4(-1/5)-3=0 =>
2x-19/5=0
x=19/10
=> the point on L1 closest to (2,0) is (19/10, -1/5)
