Answer to Problem 59SPR
The distancebetween the
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Line
Calculation:
First find the equation of the line
Begin by finding the slope of the line through points
Then write the equation of this line using the point
The equation of line
Now, write an equation of the line
Since, the slope of line
Write the equation of line
The equation of line
Solve the system of equations to determine the intersection point.
Set
Use the value of
Hence, the point of intersection is
Use the distance formula to determine the distance between
Hence, the distance between the point and the line is
