Answer:
d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two points with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
So, the distance between point (2,0) and a point (x,y)
d = √[(x - 2)² + (y - 0)²]
d = √[(x - 2)² + (y)²]
But the point (x,y) is on the line y = 3x - 1
We can substitute for y in the distance between points equation.
d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]
QED!
