You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the shortest distance from the line 3x-4y+20 = 0 to the point (6,2)
-------------
Find the slope of the line.
Then find the equation of the line perpendicular to it that passes thru (6,2)
Then find the intersection of those 2 lines.
Then find the distance from (6,2) to the intersection.
