Question

Find the distance from point A(15,−21) to the line 5x+2y = 4. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If done on graph, just subtract x value of point A with x value of the line when its y value is -21.

If done algebraic, then plug in -21 into the y value for 5x+2y=4, then take the answer to x value (in our case 9.2) and subtract that from 15.
