What is the distance of the point from the line ?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 43/17

  1. Step 1: By the point-to-line distance theorem, .
  2. Step 2: Insert the line coefficients and point coordinates: .
  3. Step 3: The resulting perpendicular distance is .
Answer
43/17.
Why not the others: 43 computes the numerator without dividing by ; 44/17 uses an incorrect distance denominator or incorrect numerator coefficient or dropped term; 43/18 uses an incorrect distance denominator or incorrect numerator coefficient or dropped term.
