Question

Consider the following equation for line 1. Find the distance between I and the point V (5, -6) 1 —> y = -1

Answer 1

Explanation

We must find the distance between the line y = -1 and the point V(5, -6).

Plotting a graph of the line and the point, we get:

From the graph, we see that the distance between the line and the point is d = 5 units.

Answer

5 units
