Given (2, -3) `4x-5y=-2`
`4x-5y=-2`
`4x-5y+2=0`
A=4, B=-5, C=2, x1=2, and y1=-3
Find the distance between the point and the line using the formula
`d=|Ax_1+By_1+C|/sqrt(A^2+B^2)`
`d=|(4)(2)+(-5)(-3)+2|/sqrt(4^2+(-5)^2)`
`d=|8+15+2|/sqrt(16+25)=25/sqrt(41)=3.9`
The distance between the point and the line is 3.9 units.
