Answer:

\sqrt{37} units

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw a perpendicular from point (6,2) on the line 6x - y = - 3, then we have to find the length of the perpendicular.  

We know the formula of length of perpendicular from a point (x_{1}, y_{1} ) to the straight line ax + by + c = 0 is given by  

\frac{|ax_{1} + by_{1} +c |}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}

Therefore, in our case the perpendicular distance is  

\frac{|6(6)-2+3|}{\sqrt{6^{2} +(-1)^{2} } } = \frac{37}{\sqrt{37} } = \sqrt{37}  units. (Answer)
