Parametric form

Calculate the distance of point A [2,1] from the line p:
X = -1 + 3 t
Y = 5-4 t
Line p has a parametric form of the line equation.

Correct answer:

x =  0

Step-by-step explanation:

p: x=1+3t y=54t   A[2,1] = A[m,n] m=2 n=1  q  p: ax+by+c = 0 a=4 b=3 q: 4x+3y+c = 0  4 (1)+3 5+c=0  c=11  c=111=11  c=11  x=a2+b2a m+b n+c=42+324 2+3 1+(11)=0   Verifying Solution:   2=1+3 t  3t=3  t=33=1  t=1  Y=54 t Y=54 1  Y=1  Y=11=1  Y=1
