Plotting that point puts us at a y value of -5 (the y coordinate of the point P). y=-8 is a straight horizontal line through y=-8, so the distance from -5 to -8 is 3. Remember that distance is never negative. Distance is measured using the absolute value of the numbers. So b is your choice.

Step-by-step explanation:
line given slope = x coefficient = 1/3
Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other: m1 * m2 = –1
line slope (m) = -3
line equation formula = y = mx + b
y = -3x + b
from the point given
x = 3
y= 3
3 = -9 + b
b = 12
y = -3x + 12
Answer: 2/8 < 3/5 < 3/4 < 5/6
