Given (3, 2) `y=2x-1`
`y=2x-1`
`-2x+y+1=0`
Let A=-2, B=1, C=1, x1=3, and y1=2
Find the distance between the point and the line using the formula
`d=|Ax_1+By_1+C|/sqrt(A^2+B^2)`
`d=|(-2)(3)+(1)(2)+1|/sqrt((-2)^2+1^2)`
`d=|-6+2+1|/sqrt(4+1)=3/sqrt5=1.3`
The distance between the point and the line is 1.3 units.
