You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the distance between point P and line L. line L contains points (-8,1) and (3,1). point p has coordinates (-2,4)
----------------
The 2 points for line L have the same y value of 1, so it's parallel to the x-axis, and 1 unit above it.
---
The y value of P is 4 ---> the distance is 3 units.
