Question

Find the distance between the point (0, 0) and the line 4x + 3y = 0 (round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary)

Answer 1

The required distance is given by

$\begin{gathered} d=\frac{0\times4+0\times3-0}{\sqrt[]{4^2+3^2}} \\ =\frac{0}{\sqrt[]{4^2+3^2}} \\ =0 \end{gathered}$

So d=0 is the correct answer.
