Find the distance from A(15,21) to the line 5x +2y=4. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

The distance from a point to a line is

distance(ax+by+c=0,(x0,y0)) = abs(ax0+by0+c)/sqrt(a^2+b^2)

So first convert the formula for the line to standard form

5x+2y=4

5x+2y-4=0

a=5, b=2, c=-4, x0=15, y0=-21

Step-by-step explanation:

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265
