Question

Find the minimum distance between the point (-5,1) and the line x = -2​

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

The minimum distance would be when there would be a horizontal line connecting the point (-5,1) with the line x=-2. So there would be a line from (-5,1) to (-2,1) which would be a straight line of 3 since -2 +5 = 3.
