To find: The distance from the given point A to the given line.
Answer to Problem 8E
The distance from the given point A to the given line is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given point A is
From the given points of the line, the slope of the line is
The equation of the line will be,
The slope of the perpendicular line on the given line will be
The y -intercept of the perpendicular equation on the given line from point A is obtain as,
The equation of the perpendicular line will be,
The intersection point of the lines is at
Calculate the distance from the given point A to the given line that is point
Thus, the distance from the given point A to the given line is
