Question 1102745
Find the distance from P to L
--line l contains points (-2 4) and (1 -9). point p has coordinates (14,-6)
-----------
Use commas.
(-2,4) and (1,-9)
----------------
Find the equation of the line thru the 2 points in Ax + By + C = 0 form.
Then use:
{{{d = (14A - 6B + C)/sqrt(A^2 + B^2)}}}
--------------
As an alternative:
Find the equation of the line thru the 2 points
Then find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line thru the point (14,6), and the intersection of the 2 lines.
Then find the distance from (14,-6) to the intersection.
