Minimum Distance In Exercises 6163, consider a fuel distribution center located at the origin of the rectangular coordinate system (units in miles; see figures on next page). The center supplies three factories with coordinates and A trunk line will run from the distribution center along the line and feeder lines will run to the three factories. The objective is to find such that the lengths of the feeder lines are minimized. Minimize the sum of the squares of the lengths of vertical feeder lines given by Find the equation for the trunk line by this method and then determine the sum of the lengths of the feeder lines. xyx
