2y%2B4x=8
then find x& yintercept
then see if (5,-6) is on the line
2y%2B4x=8...first write it in slope-intercept form
2y=-4x%2B8
y=-2x%2B4
now graph:
+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-2x%2B4%29+

now, let's see if given point is on the line:

The given point (5,-6) lies on the given line. Hence, the required distance
will be 0
