Question
Distance In Exercises 79 and 80 , use the result of Exercise 77 to find the distance between the point and line.Point: $(-2,1)$Line: $x-y-2=0$
Step 1
The equation of the line is given as $x-y-2=0$. The coordinates of the point are $(-2,1)$. So, we substitute $x=-2$ and $y=1$ into the equation of the line. Show more…

Work Exercises $73-78$ From the distance formula in Section $2.1,$ the distance between the two points $P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$ and $R\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$ is $$ d(P, R)=\sqrt{\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)^{2}} $$ Find the closest point on the line $y=2 x$ to the point $(1,7) .$ (Hint: Every point on $y=2 x$ has the form $(x, 2 x),$ and the closest point has the minimum distance.)
