The distance of point (5, 3) from the line 3x + 4y + 1 = 0 is
Question
The distance of point (5, 3) from the line 3x + 4y + 1 = 0 is
Solution
The distance (d) from a point to a line given the equation of the line Ax + By + C = 0 and the point (x0, y0) is given by the formula:
d = |Ax0 + By0 + C| / sqrt(A^2 + B^2)
In this case, the line is 3x + 4y + 1 = 0 and the point is (5, 3). So, A = 3, B = 4, C = 1, x0 = 5, and y0 = 3.
Substitute these values into the formula:
d = |35 + 43 + 1| / sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) d = |15 + 12 + 1| / sqrt(9 + 16) d = |28| / sqrt(25) d = 28 / 5 d = 5.6 units
So, the distance of the point (5, 3) from the line 3x + 4y + 1 = 0 is 5.6 units.
