Question

Find the distance from the point P
(5, 3) to the line x = 7

Answer 1

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{13} \: units$

Step-by-step explanation:

distance from the point P

(5, 3) to the line x = 7 = (7, 0)

$d = \sqrt{ {(7 - 5)}^{2} + {(0 - 3)}^{2} } \\ \\ d = \sqrt{ {(2)}^{2} + {( - 3)}^{2} } \\ \\ d = \sqrt{4 + 9} \\ \\ d = \sqrt{13} \: units$
