Answer to Problem 5PS

The distance from the point to the graph of the given equation is 5.81units .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given line has the slope of 2 and passing through the point (2,1) .

The equation of the line is obtained as,

  (yyo)=m(xxo)(y1)=2(x2)y1=2x42xy3=0

The distance from the point to the graph of the given equation is calculated as,

  d=|ax1+by1+c|a2+b2=|2(2)+(1)(6)+(3)|(2)2+(1)2=135=5.81units

Thus, the distance from the point to the graph of the given equation is 5.81units .
