Question

Find the distance between the point (3,1) and the line with the equation y=2x-5

A.10
B.0
C.1/5
D.6

Answer 1

B: 0

Explanation:

Note that (3, 1) satisfies the equation y = 2x - 5:

1 = 2(3) - 5

1 = 6 -5 = 1

Therefore, the distance between this point and this line is zero.

B is the correct answer.
