Question

Find the distance from the point (0, 3) to the line y=3x−9. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

9 + -3x = y

Solving

9 + -3x = y

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.

9 + -9 + -3x = -9 + y

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0

0 + -3x = -9 + y

-3x = -9 + y

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = 3 + -0.3333333333y

Simplifying

x = 3 + -0.3333333333y
