Question

line l contains points(-2,1) and(4,1) point p has coordinates (5,7)

Answer 1

hmm so what we have to do here?

Answer 2

find the distance from p to l

Answer 3

hmm i am not sure the distance would be the tilted line or perpendicular one

Answer 4

distance between a line and a point is always perpendicular.

Answer 5

since line l is a horizontal line, the distance is measured vertically to the point (5, 7)

Answer 6

so the equation of p would be x=5?

Answer 7

"equation of p" ???
the problem states that p is a point.

Answer 8

distance would be 6 units from line!

Answer 9

can you tell me the steps to solve this
