Geometry help. 10 POINTS (: (: graphing and perpendiclar segment stuff.?
ok so sorry i missed a day and am behind. so there is two questions.
1) y= x +2 (2, -2)
2) y=x=2 (3,3)
the question for both of these say to graph each equation and ordered pir. then construct a perpendicuar segment and find the distance from the point to the line.
PLEASE HELP :D

1) First, draw the line y=x+2. For this tabulate the values of x+2 for various values of x like -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Now make the ordered-pairs (x, x+2) by taking values of x as x-coordinate and the corresponding values of x+2 as y-coordinate.
The ordered-pairs for x=-2, -1, 0, 1 & 2 are (-2, 0), (-1, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3) and (2, 4). Plot these points on the graph-sheet and join the points. You will get a straight line whose equation is y=x+2.
Now locate the point (2, -2) on the graph-sheet. From this point draw a line segment which cuts the line y=x+2 perpendicularly. Let the point of intersection of these two lines be P.
Measure the distance between the point (2, -2) and the point P, which is the required perpendicular distance.
2) Draw the graph of y=x-2 by following the procedure explained above. Then locate the point (3, 3) and draw through it a perpendicular to the line y=x-2 and measure the perpendicular distance.
