he formula of a distance between a point (a, b)

and a line Ax + By + C = 0:

d=\dfrac{|Aa+Bb+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}

We have the point A(-1, 7) → a = -1, b = 7

and the line y = 3x → 3x - y = 0 → A = 3, B = -1, C = 0.

Substitute:

d=\dfrac{|(3)(-1)+(-1)(7)+0|}{\sqrt{3^2+(-1)^2}}=\dfrac{|-3-7|}{\sqrt{9+1}}=\dfrac{|-10|}{\sqrt{10}}=\dfrac{10\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{10}}\\\\=\dfrac{10\sqrt{10}}{10}=\sqrt{10}

<h3>Answer: d = √10</h3>

Solve Ax + By = -C for x.<br> Ox=-By-C<br> А<br> x=-By+C<br> Ox=By=0
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

\textbf{Option 1}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

\textup{Given $ Ax + By = -C$}\\\textup{Subtracting $By$ on both sides, we get,}\\$ Ax = -C -By $\\

\textup{Dividing by $A$ on both sides, (Assuming $A$ is not equal to zero) we get }\\$$ x = \frac{-By -C}{A}$$
